The opposition claims in order to address the US dollar crisis, the Minister of Finance should be banned first, even before imposing restrictions on import of goods.
Speaking during a media briefing today, Parliamentarian Hesha Withanage said the Finance Minister is the biggest import in the country adding the public will prosper if the Minister is banned.
The Parliamentarian said the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna backbenchers previously claimed that the Finance Minister will resolve the financial crisis.
He said however now the same MPs are engaged in a campaign to protect and defend Minister Basil Rajapaksa and does not even mention the country’s financial situation.
MP Withanage said Minister Rajapaksa yesterday claimed the country is severely affected due to the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
The MP said a government is not needed if it is unable to find solutions to the prevalent issues and lays blame on external factors.
