– Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) National Organizer and MP Namal Rajapaksa alleged that under the current administration, not only public funds but even allegations and responsibility for failures are being directed to the wrong places.

Addressing a public meeting in Seruwawila, Rajawewa yesterday (12), !Namal questioned the government’s financial management and referred to the controversial “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” fund. He claimed that officials had informed Parliament’s finance committee that the fund had not been formally established and that uncertainty remained regarding the money associated with it.“Nowadays, money from government accounts keeps ending up in the wrong accounts. When questioned, the explanation is either a hacker or an administrative error. It seems that not only money, but even allegations end up in the wrong accounts these days,” he said.Namal accused the government of failing to fulfil several promises made to the public. He claimed that farmers were facing difficulties due to fertilizer shortages and the absence of fair prices for agricultural produce, while small and medium-sized enterprises were struggling to survive.

According to Rajapaksa, graduate unemployment remains a major issue despite promises of jobs, while factory closures and declining investor confidence are affecting the economy.he SLPP National Organizer also criticized what he described as an excessive tax burden on citizens and businesses, claiming that many small enterprises were being pushed towards closure. He accused the government of favouring large-scale business interests while neglecting farmers, entrepreneurs, youth and rural communities.

Commenting on the government’s response to criticism, Namal alleged that efforts were being made to suppress opposition voices rather than address public concerns. He also raised concerns about the treatment of Civil Security Department personnel, claiming that many officers had been transferred away from their communities and were struggling with the rising cost of living.Namal further accused the government of lacking a clear economic vision and relying excessively on imports at the expense of local producers, farmers and fishermen.Concluding his speech, he called on people across political divides to unite in support of a government that would be accountable to the public, protect local industries, strengthen agriculture and create opportunities for future generations.
