Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya stated that Sri Lanka, despite its rich natural and national resources, has been significantly weakened due to corruption under previous administrations.
Speaking at a May Day rally in Ratnapura on May 1, during May Day commemorations, she emphasized that the long-term misuse of state resources had contributed to the country’s economic decline.
She further noted that the current government has already begun taking steps to reverse this situation within a short period.
The Prime Minister also highlighted that if Sri Lanka can move towards a debt-free position within one and a half years, it would demonstrate strong potential for sustained economic progress in the years ahead.
