Will not misuse excessive power given by the people: NPP
Colombo, November 15 (Daily Mirror)- Claiming that it is a huge challenge to keep the trust placed by the people on the National People's Power (NPP), NPP member Tilvin Silva said today the NPP government will make sure that the excessive power given to the NPP will not be misused and is committed to use for the benefit of the people and to uphold democratic rights of the people.
He told a special media conference after the general elections that the NPP never expected a two-thirds majority and that the NPP has a huge responsibility to utilise the excessive power carefully.
He said there was a notion in society that excessive power corrupts and added that it was because the governments after 1977 used the extreme power to suppress the people and to misuse public property for their personal benefits.
Silva said the NPP will not misuse the extreme power to suppress the people but will be used to develop the country, uphold democracy, create a society free of fraud and corruption and to fulfil the aspirations of the people.
