Former MP Mervyn Silva stated that all officials working in the army lack the necessary political knowledge hence are not able to connect with the people.
Silva made these statements at a media briefing held after attending a religious ceremony yesterday (1).
He further added that the country has fallen to a state of distress due to the elimination of fear and shame that had set in after the appointment of the new government, whereas former president Rajapaksa had the situation well under control.
He concluded by saying that the government should take a more aggressive stance regarding the situation that followed the inclement weather, and that the current officials aren’t sensitive enough to the situation.
