Deal with IMF to help pull bankrupt Sri Lanka out of its economic crisis pushed back to September because of weeks of unrest, says new President Ranil Wickremesinghe
Wickremesinghe has been accused by many of protecting the Rajapaksas, who are widely blamed for corruption and misrule that led to the economic crisis.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe, in his first speech since he was elected by Parliament on July 20, said on Saturday even though he as the prime minister had aimed to reach an agreement by early August, it has now been pushed back by a month. The currency crisis led to a shortage of many critical imported items like fuel, medicine and cooking gas.
He reiterated the call on Saturday saying that blaming former leaders will not solve the problem but everyone should get together to stop the country from falling further.
