Driving the country into the brink of a disaster, Sri Lanka could be completely running out of gas, medicines and electricity, which at present are being supplied at a shortage, in the future, warned Finance Minister Mohammed Ali Sabry, delivering a special statement in Parliament yesterday (04).
“Honourable Speaker, in my opinion, we are facing the worst economic crisis since the independence. I am not sure if everyone in and out of this Chamber has a clear understanding about the lengths and the severity of this matter. Because, should we fail to take a proper action and manage this – right now we talk about a shortage of gas, a shortage of medicines and having a three-to-four hour power cut – there is a chance that we are at the brink of a dangerous disaster in which we could completely run out of everything. Fingers are being pointed at each other. We should know that we have a national responsibility to slow the process of the economy being collapsed down to some extent and make the economy realistic.”
