Despite the Prime Minister’s assurances, opposition parliamentarian Dr. Harsha de Silva claims it is impossible to restructure the nation’s debts by August.
The Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP cited the Prime Minister’s speech regarding the IMF debt restructuring and claimed that, despite the Prime Minister’s own statement that the NPP Leader’s plan to revive the nation’s economy within six months is impractical, the Prime Minister’s own plan is one that, if successful, might end up in the Guinness World Records.
August still has three weeks to go. I don’t think we can restructure this loan in three weeks,” he continued.
