Only a single day’s debate on domestic debt restructuring: Sagala
The debate on the proposed domestic debt restructuring programme is to be confined to a single day, as most of the issues pertaining to it have been resolved, Senior Presidential advisor Sagala Ratnayake said.
Speaking during the UNP Bala Mandala meeting in Ratmalana, Ratnayake said the President had met MPs and others and had explained what the government intends to do with regard to the domestic debt restructuring.
“There is no need for a long debate on the domestic debt restructuring programme as many issues have been resolved. Therefore, the debate would be confined to a single day,” he said indicating that Parliament would not meet on Sunday.
He also assured that no harm would befall the EPF, ETF or on the banks.
“Domestic debt restructuring is important as the Paris Club and others want Sri Lanka to do it,” he added.
UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said many in the Opposition, including Public Finance Committee Chairman Harsha de Silva had fully understood the domestic debt restructuring process programme.
“Only the JVP and a few SJB MPs like S.M. Marikar are threatening to bring people on to the streets against the domestic debt restructuring programme,” he said. (Yohan Perera)
