Sirisena demands action against Rajapaksa economic hitmen for triggering worst financial crisis

Legal action should be taken against individuals that the Supreme Court found guilty of triggering the country’s worst financial crisis by mishandling the economy, former president Maithripala Sirisena said.

Addressing the media in Colombo, he said that none of the economic hitmen named by the Supreme Court was in his government.

“People will not rest unless justice is done. Legal action should be taken against these individuals,” he said.
