SJB says report on agreement on commercial creditors an act of influencing voters
Colombo, September 19 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Lawyers' Collective member Shiyan Punchihewa, in a letter addressed to Chairman Election Commission Saman Ratnayake has informed that the report issued by the government on the agreement with external commercial creditors is an attempt to influence the voters.
"Sri Lanka has reached agreements with external commercial creditors to restructure approximately
USD 17.5 bn of external debt, achieving a 40.3% Net Present Value (NPV) concession. This provides
significant debt relief and reduces interest payments, strengthening the country's financial stability," the government report said.
Punchhewa requested the polls chief to get the media to refrain from reporting on the matter.

The external commercial creditors should announce the outcome of the negotiations officially.

SJB must be thinking we all are living in a well to keep a significant event a secret till elections are over. Hello, there's something called foreign news media, reaching all corners whether you like or not !!

If its good for the country, why make a mock of it. Hope this Punchi lawyer sends his objections to Reuters and Bloomberg for publishing this news. International investors are happy with the news. they dont care about Puthano's SJB (who should have joined RW and celebrated this victory for SL.) Oh well, I'll stay tuned to watch the results of a fratricidal Presidential Election on 9/21. Looks like SL voters will choose the self-destruction option with AKD. I sincerely hope not, but who knows.

It is imperative that the second and third preferences are too marked, even when casting the vote for him, to prevent Anura getting selected as paving the way for Gota part II.

President Ranil Wickramasinghe has taken every steps to restructure the economy. He has fulfilled his duty within two years. It is the time for us to decided wheather go ahead or return back.

Not Ranil but ordinary people by paying more taxes and as a result of soaring prices, dispelled Qs. Not a talent of Ranil. By selling everything possible at bargain prices even if profit making institutes and taxing ordinary people but friends. More taxes are to be enforced and intend to sell profit making institutes at bargain prices for commissions in return.

It is not that easy Man, it requires a seasoned politician with a great international reputation to resolve the economic issue. Three wheel drivers cannot do it. So what was your AKD planning to do without taxing? Was he going to settle the loans from his party funds.

I don't personally like Ranil. But to my best knowledge he did a fantastic job for the past 2 years. I think we should give him another chance. Sajith or Anura do not possess that calibre. Forget about Namal boy. He cannot even run a tea boutique

If this is good for the country, keep quiet you failures. AKD and SP are no where near RW. Neither Sajith nor AKD can negotiate with IMF and bring in such progress.

Would SJB complain if the talks were a failure and Sri Lanka didn't clinch a deal ? Pathetic clowns. How Sajith must be ruing the fact that he missed out on the IMF and other related matters.

The election laws (like the 48hr silence) are there to stop spreading false news at the last moment. They are not there to suppress right information that the voters should know before they go and take critical decisions on their country. The election commission has done an excellent job so far and must continue, by ignoring these politicking lawyers!

My view is this act is making additional issues to the winner if the agreement is not practical, as the winner will have to reverse or amend it,
