PM Harini says she gets 1,000 letters a day on unresolved issues
Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya says that she receives about 1,000 letters a day, out of which 900 of those contain problems that can be solved at the village level.
Addressing a public meeting in Kolonnawa on Wednesday (16 Apr), the Prime Minister said that if local councils and urban councils are properly established, such problems can be addressed.She pointed out that a structure can be created that can move from top to bottom with a single vision.
“We’ve only just started. Believe me, I get about 1,000 letters a day. Of those 1,000 letters, 900 are problems that can be solved in the village. But they come to us because they haven’t been solved. Now, when I make time for it, I can’t do what I’m supposed to do. If I don’t look at it, it means there are a hundred problems that haven’t been solved,” she said.
Prime Minister Amarasuriya emphasized that those problems could be addressed if the local councils and urban councils were properly established.
“So this is extremely important. Then we can create a structure that can go from top to bottom with the same vision. So, for all these reasons, this election on May 6th is extremely important. This is a big transformation. How complex is this transformation that you expected from us? I think we understand now. How much we all have to do, how much we have to change. We are going on this journey,” she added.
