President regrets for suspending chemical fertilizer as a mistake!

Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has admitted that not deliver chemical fertilizer to the local farmers was a mistake, and measures have been taken to deliver chemical fertilizer to the farmers at present.

The President said he believes Sri Lanka should have approached the International Monetary Fund much earlier, given the situation in the country.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said no matter what challenges are ahead, he would not evade his responsibilities.

“Ministerial positions are not mere benefits, it is a great responsibility,” he told the new Cabinet in Colombo, urging them not to use additional benefits as Ministers.

He said that he expects honest, efficient, and untainted governance from the new cabinet, while ridding the institutions vested with them of corruption, and converting them to be committed to serving the public.

“Most of the public institutions are in financial crisis and those need to be rectified,” said the President, adding that this is an ideal opportunity to introduce the system change that the people are calling for.
