Gota pushed the failing economy down

Some Parliamentarians are calling for the appointment of a commission of inquiry to hold those responsible for the current economic crisis. The worst-ever economic crisis since independence has already created cascading effects of looming hunger, shortage of lifesaving medicine and crippling public service. Look no further: The primary culprit is none other than President Gotabaya Rajapaksa himself. 

That would mean that the search for accountability under the current circumstances is elusive. Yet the hard but stubborn fact is that Gotabaya with a series of misguided and ego fuelled decisions turned an otherwise manageable crisis into a national calamity, impoverishing millions of Sri Lankan families and bringing the country’s economy to its breaking point.
