The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has submitted four proposals to president Ranil Wickremesinghe for immediate implementation.
A continuation of the ‘Samurdhi’ allowance and the fertilizer subsidy, reintroduction of decentralized budgets for MPs and no job losses in the restructuring of state entities are the requests.
SLPP general secretary Sagara Kariyawasam has made them in writing, especially noting that it was inappropriate to replace the Samurdhi, terming it as the best mechanism to eliminate poverty.
