SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa says the public wants answers on the rising cost of living rather than presidential commentary on arrests, investigations and court cases.
In a statement, Rajapaksa said the President should not be “predicting arrests, investigations and judgments” in Parliament as though he were overseeing the Police, the CID and the courts.
“If there are cases, let the law take its course. We are ready to face any investigation and any legal process because we have faith in the justice system,” he said.
Rajapaksa argued that the government’s focus should instead be on addressing the increasing cost of living, saying families across Sri Lanka are struggling with rising prices and household expenses.
He also alleged that despite coming to power on promises of clean governance, the government is now facing serious corruption allegations. Rajapaksa claimed ministers had been accused of amassing wealth without accountability and questioned the Bribery Commission’s response to allegations involving members of the government.
He urged the President to focus on the country’s economic challenges and public concerns over corruption rather than commenting on arrests and court proceedings. (Newswire)
