PNM in Gov't (2020-2025)

[VII]

We should all support Karen and totally condemn Camille et al for their immature and pathetic responses. Of course it's her business as a responsible and productive citizen of this country to question how it's being run and to highlight what we have known for decades, crime cannot stop when it's being perpetrated at the top, how can it ! ?

Listen nah when I tell allyuh I have grown to hate this govt and their antics believe me. They have done nothing to incubate or facilitate smaller businesses and contractors etc, in fact they've made it even harder for us to grow and contribute to the country. I would like anyone with the means and know-how to create a non-partisan platform for former tolerant people like myself with much to offer to publicly condemn this government , and sadly I don't think UNC in its current iteration is a viable option .

We have to seriously consider Gary people.


Let's support Karen, she's put herself on the line in defence of us, she's a woman that always stood out to me, a bit bougey but very practical and honest when it matters. Mariano Browne seems to be a very sober and thoughtful individual also, maybe they should team up with Gary, remember sycophants do not win elections people, it's the independent thinkers in between that make the difference, let the sheep on both sides continue to baaa aimlessly on the plains, while we take control of the barn .

Apparently, you are one of those who do not want to pay your money up front!

Dragon

She is forgiven,much like any good whistle blower, she acknowledges she was part of a dishonest crime infested structure and she's had enough ..

We are all corrupt in this place...we need to change, for our kids and grandkids sake..

I not on Karen, although I hate what she did with Clico, but rather my comment was on LFD RFD PNM's Fat Arse Brigade's Chief Fat Arse.
The problem is in the LFD RFD PNM, they sheit, spit and pee on you but this cult has its members so indoctrinated that they still don't speak out.

My friend,

Rowley is the head of the national security council. The national security council is a more complex and sophisticated network than the Cia, mi6 and the KGB combined x10000000. As head of the national security council, he has the ultimate power to quash any report, he decides who gets locked up or not. As head of the head of the national security council, he wouldn't known about this before special branch even write the report. He determined that there was no wrong doing, so we move on.

Sri Lankan prime minister resigns after weeks of protests

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s prime minister resigned Monday following weeks of protests demanding that he and his brother, the country’s president, step down for dragging the nation into its worst economic crisis in decades.

Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said on Twitter that he submitted his resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, a move that followed a violent attack by government supporters on the protesters, prompting authorities to deploy armed troops in the capital, Colombo.

Four people, including a ruling party lawmaker, died in Monday’s violence, police spokesman Nihal Thalduwa told the Associated Press. President Rajapaksa imposed a countrywide curfew Monday evening lasting until Wednesday morning.

For more than a month, protests have spread across the country, drawing people across ethnicities, religions and class. For the first time middle-class Sri Lankans also took to the streets in large numbers, marking a dramatic revolt by many former Rajapaksa supporters, some of whom have spent weeks protesting outside the president’s office.

The protests underscored a dramatic fall from favor of the Rajapaksas, Sri Lanka’s most powerful political dynasty for decades. The brothers were once hailed as heroes by many of the island’s Buddhist-Sinhalese majority for ending the country’s 30-year civil war, and despite accusations of war atrocities, were firmly entrenched at the top of Sri Lankan politics until now.

The prime minister’s resignation comes as the country’s economy has swiftly unraveled in recent weeks. Imports of everything from milk to fuel have plunged, spawning dire food shortages and rolling power cuts. People have been forced to stand in lines for hours to buy essentials. Doctors have warned of crippling shortages of life-saving drugs in hospitals, and the government has suspended payments on $7 billion in foreign debt due this year alone.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa initially blamed Sri Lanka’s economic woes on global factors like the pandemic battering its tourism industry and the Russia-Ukraine conflict pushing up global oil prices. But both he and his brother have since admitted to mistakes that exacerbated the crisis, including conceding they should have sought an International Monetary Fund bailout sooner.

Sri Lanka has been holding talks with the IMF to set up a rescue plan but its progress depends on negotiations on debt restructuring with creditors. Any long-term plan would take at least six months to get underway.

Sri Lanka was in financial trouble even before the Ukraine war drove up food and oil prices and made things worse.

The Sri Lankan government has been running big budget deficits after cutting taxes in 2019 and struggling to collect taxes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also has piled up massive foreign debt — much of it owed to China — and has scant foreign exchange reserves to pay for imports and to defend its embattled currency, the rupee.

Sri Lanka is at the top of a list compiled by Liliana Rojas-Suarez of the Center for Global Development that ranks the countries most exposed to financial shocks. Those most vulnerable rely on commodity imports and have low foreign exchange reserves compared to what they owe other countries.

Monday’s violence triggered widespread anger, with people singling out Rajapaksa supporters and attacking them in many parts of the country.

Ruling party lawmaker Amarakeerthi Athukorale and his bodyguard were killed in Nittambuwa, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Colombo after the car they were traveling in was intercepted by an angry crowd, the police spokesman said.

Athikorale or his bodyguard had fired gunshots at the protesters, who chased them and trapped them inside a building where their badly beaten bodies were recovered by police several hours later, the spokesman said.

Three people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds from the shots fired from the lawmaker’s vehicle, he said.

Separately, in the Rajapaksas’ hometown of Weeraketiya, a crowd that tried to set fire to a local politician’s home was fired upon killing two protesters, he said.

Protesters tried several times to break into the prime minister’s official residence Monday night forcing police to fire tear gas. Homes of government ministers and politicians supporting the Rajapaksas were also attacked and some set on fire. The memorial for the brothers’ parents was vandalized.

Jayadeva Uyangoda, a political scientist in Colombo, said the prime minister’s resignation marked a new chapter in the country’s political crisis. “The prime minister had to resign in disgrace after his supporters unleashed such violence,” he said.

He added that it would be difficult for President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to maintain credibility after Monday’s violence.

But the president has so far refused to resign and Parliament must go through a difficult process if it attempts to oust him. The resignation of the prime minister meant the entire Cabinet was dissolved.

Earlier on Monday, the prime minister’s supporters attacked protesters who had been demonstrating outside the prime minister’s official residence for weeks, hitting them with wooden and iron poles. They then marched to the president’s office, where they attacked protesters there and set their camps on fire.

Police fired tear gas and a water cannon, but not forcefully enough to control the mob. The attack occurred despite a state of emergency declared by the president Friday that gave him wide powers for riot control.

Hundreds of armed soldiers were deployed in the capital, as the protesters accused police of not preventing the attack, despite using tear gas and water cannons on protesters on Friday.

“Police did not protect us, therefore we have taken it into our own hands,” said Druvi Jinasena, who was helping block roads to protect the protest site.

An official at the main hospital in Colombo said 173 people were treated, most for minor injuries, though 15 were seriously injured. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the media.

The country’s foreign reserves have plummeted below $50 million and it owes nearly $25 billion in foreign debt for payment by 2026. Its total foreign debt is $51 billion.

Meanwhile, popular anger at the Rajapaksa clan has only grown, ramping up pressure on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to quit too.

“There has been sustained pressure for the last several weeks for the president to resign but he hasn’t paid much attention to that,” said Bhavani Fonseka, a senior researcher at the Colombo-based Center for Policy Alternatives.

“People are furious – and that anger is not going away anytime soon.”
