Harsha reminds SLPP rebels of his warning in Nov. 2020

Samagi Jana Balavegaya lawmaker Dr. Harsha de Silva pointed out that he had urged the incumbent dispensation to seek IMF intervention, way back in Nov 2020. The former State Minister said that the national economy was in such a bad shape the SLPP or the so-called rebel group couldn’t do anything about it.

The former UNPer declared that the government has failed to manage the economy and the country was now paying a huge price. Lawmaker de Silva said that they never asked the government not to settle debt. “We repeatedly emphasised the need to restructure debt. Instead, acting on sound advice, the government settled USD 500 mn sovereign debt, thereby caused a catastrohphic situation,” MP de Silva said.

The SJB official reiterated their call to reveal who received the USD 500 mn.
