We have actually talked about this before
Every possible relief must be supplied urgently.The former Head of State added that currently the earnings tax payment threshold has
actually been increased from Rs
That is the number we can do
I also talked about with the IMF to take it to the limitation of Rs
They did not agree to it, he said.We ought to act appropriately and supply more relief after the economy becomes stronger.Wickremesinghe
said the government must stay in this program and that there is no other way out of this
We should stick with it in great times as well as in bad times.I tell the opposition that there is no point in criticizing for no reason
I accept that the opposition is there to criticize
Usually, an opposition is not going to praise a government.But I want to advise you that such criticism must be made within the structure of
the IMF contract, he included.
