Former Prime Minister and UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has said that there is no point in arguing over who is responsible for the current economic crisis and that all parties should discuss the report of the International Monetary Fund on Sri Lanka and reach an agreement in Parliament.
“After discussions with Sri Lanka under Article 4 of the IMF Constitution, I think the Board of Directors will release the report in the third week of February. Therefore, I ask the Leader of the House to give us a date in March to discuss this.
Here we will talk about the report. It does not matter who is responsible, whether it is this government, previous government, the previous governments or the King Mahasen. We should take what we have now and give our ideas and then we can see if we can come to some agreement on some of them. There has to be a solution to this somewhere. We will give the agreed points to the President and the Minister of Finance ”
Ranil Wickremesinghe stated this while addressing the Parliament yesterday (09).
