Public faith in government has waned – Tissa Attanayake
Former General Secretary of the United National Party Tissa Attanayake says the faith the public placed in the government after the 2019 Presidential Election has waned drastically.
Speaking to media in Kandy Attanayake said the government has inconvenienced the public by prioritising insignificant issues over the needs of the public.
He claimed that the public had high expectations, such as a drop in the cost of living, the strengthening of the economy and employment opportunities among other aspects.
Attanayake noted that the public is severely burdened at present, with a lack of response on the part of the government.
Tissa Attanayake however added that while the people are burdened at the hands of the government, the opposition in turn has failed to fulfil its responsibility as well.

Dear former Gen. Secy. of UNP , Please clean up your Augean Stables before you poke your nose into your opponent’s sitting room. Your stables are filthy and so nauseating it is going to be a bit of Herculean task to spruce up your steeds on a winning streak.. Stop your infighting and arrange your winning jockeys on the correct track.
Dear Mr Attanayake,
You are sadly mistaken!
This government has done more in the last few months than the previous government during its entire tenure!
Moreover, your whitewash investigations eg Bond scam, Easter bombing, Dr Shafi case are being investigated again, in line with public requests.
Issues with food price hikes have been acknowledged, and measures have been introduced.
Your rhetoric is more like “sour grapes” rather than intelligent observation.
The truth is that the majority of Sri Lankans are so far happier and relieved with current state of play!
Well said dear Auto and Rex! Ditto!
