I think also of my colleagues at the Fund; together we have accomplished such great things over the last three years and more. To all, I want to say that I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me. I want to protect this institution which I have served with honor and devotion, and especially-especially-I want to devote all my strength, all my time, and all my energy to proving my innocence.

“The weak point of the man” brings such down falls.!
I propose SL’s finance wiz, Dr PB Jayasundara, who has turned around SL’s growth from negative to +ve 9% in two years since the end of the war to be nominated as the next IMF chief.
The IMF will thus be able to enjoy the benefits of Mahinda Chinthanaya which underlies SL’s unprecedented growth.
We, as true Sinhala buddhists, must share our approaches with the Community of Nations Worldwide.
