I whole heartedly wish that IMF grants those funds. This wish is purely in the interest of this country and the ppl who are currently suffering !!! May I also wish with god that any loan herein must come with hefty guidelines that hold accountable the current regime. May I also wish the IMF puts soo much rules that none of these roughs go scot free!!!

IMF may support Sri Lanka, but on condition. Gota and the entire cabinet must leave immediately, constitutional change to give the parliament all the powers, accountability and independent audit process for all expenditure, independent justice system. Any funds to the present government will disappear into Rajapaksas' pockets before being used.

Finally, after all, the mess created by Gota for the last year or more, now he sends his team to the USA to beg for some money. How many times the oppositions and Ranil begged him to go for IMF and world bank and yet, Gota was so stubborn that he would not go to IMF and world bank and yet, now when his government is shaking with protest in Colombo, he is sending his team to beg for money. we have an indecisive man in power. so dangerous for 22m Sri Lankans.

Hope the delegation travels in Economy Class instead of Business Class, and save some money for tax payers and staying in low cost Motels also help the tax payer. So much gravy train made mess and destruction to Sri Lankans.

How many are in the delegation team? Hopefully, only a handful. Don't take any useless ones who even can't speak any English. This is not a holiday to waste some more dollars in travel expenses. It is time to ditch inefficient and incompetent people even from public service, not just politicians. The country should move towards competence based regime in all fronts.

If the talks are scheduled for 19th April why did they depart today? These people can never stop taking advantage of all perks available to them, even at a time like this.

Get rid of පළාත් සභා, ප්‍රාදේශීය සභා first, to save money. These useless institutions should be abolished completely if this country has any idea of moving forward.

The citizens are getting indebted to the IMF and our rulers should consult economic experts and go for economically viable projects which generate dollars and enhance local industry n agriculture without further delay
