The Association of Former Secretaries to Cabinet Ministries requests President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to make the public aware of the program that will be implemented within a specific time frame to build the country.
The President of the Association, former Prime Minister’s Secretary S. Amarasekera said that the letter was addressed to the President on some issues such as increasing government revenue, controlling expenditure, increasing foreign exchange inflows to the country and implementing a program to manage foreign exchange.
It further states that even if the President resigns, the existing problems will not be resolved.
Therefore, what needs to be done at this moment is to make a structural change and implement a program to stabilize the country within a specific time frame.
The letter also requested the President to appoint a limited number of cabinet ministers with the support of all parties without exercising executive powers and to appoint an executive council to advise the president as well as the cabinet.
The letter further requested the President not to use the powers of the Executive President in such a situation and to act on the decisions given by the Executive Council.
