Hon. E.M. Basnayake
Hon. E.M. Basnayake expressed support for the President’s Budget Speech, describing it as reflecting economic revival, improved livelihoods, and renewed hope achieved within the Government’s first year. He contrasted this with what he characterized as the legacy of 70 years of previous governance and criticized members who did not accept that interpretation.

It reflects 70 years of your governance and, within our one year, the economic revival, people’s livelihoods, and future hope we brought to the country. If you do not understand it, you are calcified. Thank you.
