Basil Rajapaksa should come to parliament soon – Nimal Lanza

State Minister Nimal Lanza expressed these views while inauguarating the development work of the Wennappuwa Tabbowa Koswatta, Botalegama road.

Speaking further minister said,

‘All parties and opposition parties in parliament clearly acknowledge that Basil Rajapaksa is a leader the country needs. We are all in the back row where he should be in parliament to use his knowledge, experience and active contribution to develop the economy, people’s lives and build the country by utilizing local and foreign relations.

‘Investigations into the Easter attack are well underway. Even our Cardinal has acknowledged that the investigation is progressing well. As a government we hope to take legal action as soon as the commission report is submitted.

‘The easiest and least costly way to protect people by Covid 19 is to bring antigen kits and test the public. Why does the Opposition oppose bringing in such easy-to-see tools? The Opposition clearly wants more covids, more people dead, the economy destroyed. They hopes that then the Opposition will be able to come to power. They do not think of the people of the country and the economy.

‘The test kits were approved by the World Health Organization in October. It should be brought to Sri Lanka as soon as it is approved. Then government can save the people of the country. But opposition party is obstructing it. To be clear, some pharmaceutical companies are behind them’.
