The government’s newest
concept of governance is the city, casino, underworld and brothel, UNP Media
Spokesman MP Gayantha Karunathilaka stated.
Certain people in the
government who talk about ethics are now preparing to gamble at casinos, he
said while addressing a press briefing in Colombo today (October 30).
Karunathilaka stated
that the government was willing to do anything to make money and that after the
casino trade, prostitution and the underworld will be developed while he also criticized
the government’s over emphasis on the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting
(CHOGM) instead of addressing the genuine problems of the public.
However, citing the
Canadian Prime Minister’s announcement that he will not attend CHOGM, the MP
said that the government must work to improve Sri Lanka’s image in the eyes of
the international community.
He likened President
Mahinda Rajapaksa’s government to a crab and while elaborating on his analogy
he claimed that the government leaders were walking sideways while asking the
small man to walk straight.
Continuing his
criticism of the government, the UNP spokesman said that students who were
being educated under the free education system were selling lottery tickets
while fishermen had yet to receive fuel concessions.
