SJB Parliamentarian Harin Fernando today said that if no one was willing to lead the country, Harsha De Silva could be made a caretaker President for 6 months and the country could be handed over to him.

Speaking in Parliament, Harin said, today his children were ashamed to call their father an MP and all opposition political party leaders must unite to achieve the people's demands.

He also called on these leaders to leave aside their personal political objectives and join together for the sake of the people.

Harin further said considering the present national crisis he will not take his salary for one year and will not eat in the Parliament canteen.

How about accepting the finance minister post in a national government first. Do your duty by deeds not by your mouth only.

What rubbish is this.This fellow should be ashamed to be a MP for he has no knowledge or understanding of our constitution. No wonder his children are ashamed of him not because he is a MP but his head is full of straw.

This shows Harin's knowledge of the depth the Sri Lanka economy has fallen to. Has he read the IMF report? What can be done in 6 month for the economy in tatters and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Answer is to print money if required and have a presidential and a general election at the same time within the next 3 months

Print money, why haven't we learnt anything from an inflation of 55% by doing exactly that and make people even poorer than they are at present!

Fairy tales bro. Tell everyone to put aside differences and form a caretaker government for a year. Cannot afford an election right now, I think the last election cost around 5 billion

Good option, looking at all the others in the list. Might work. But Sri Lanken people a stupids. They won’t agree, they want a gobaya like jarapaksa. That’s their fate.

Harsha would be the best candidate for the job not just for 6 months but as long as he is required to repair the extensive damage done and to give the citizens some hope and a semblance of normality.

OK, if it is given to Harsha will he get the Petrol/Diesel, LP Gas, Milk food, Fertilizer and reduce the cost of all essential food items? What is the guarantee?

Hubert Congreve Thursday, 07 April 2022 08:39 AM

Well he (Harsha) deserves it. But he should have new young Professionals to assist him not the old sleepy faces.

High time the president and the Ministers go to the people with their begging bowl for forgiveness and mercy. Not to other countries. President must make a public address accepting defeat. Ask that he be allowed to correct within a care taker government. The president does not need a rowdy in Johnston to speak to the citizens on his behalf. Will the president deny that Jonny is a rowdy??

RL Dissanayke Thursday, 07 April 2022 11:45 AM

Now the public has learned and may accept this, yet the one man saviour ideology is part of the problem. Also, the Paksas wont and we have a Sanga with attitudes beyond even the Lord Buddha. So when the spiritual head is rotten it unlikely to fix the body politic. What was the criteria for selection from the first election?? - So we need a system change or learn to relish being stuck in the mud.

Harsha should be appointed Finance Minister and Hon FM Sarath Fonseka as President. However the 'el stupidos' in leadership will not realise this! MM
