June 28, Colombo (LNW): Member of Parliament Dr. Harsha De Silva stated yesterday that the SJB did not vote against the agreements made by the government with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and never opposed the government’s move to enter into an agreement with the IMF.
He also challenged detractors to prove if the SJB had acted contrary to this stance. Dr. De Silva recalled that it was the SJB who initially advised the government to seek IMF support to address the economic crisis.
“It was the SJB which said from the beginning that the support of the International Monetary Fund is essential to find solutions to the economic crisis. The country would not have gone bankrupt if the government heeded the SJB’s advice then,” he added.
