The Hon. Chanaka Madugoda
Chanaka Madugoda criticized the Government’s 2025 Budget implementation, stating that physical progress remained low despite only two months left in the year. He urged the Government to recognize public dissatisfaction and improve performance in 2026, concluding with a Buddhist saying to suggest the Government was failing to understand actual conditions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please allow me one more minute to conclude.
¶ 02 There are issues with the Government’s Budget document and progress in 2025; two months remain, yet your physical progress is low. As Opposition, we hope in 2026 your progress will be truly better. Understand the public dissatisfaction and proceed accordingly.
¶ 03 Let me end with a Buddhist saying: “What is imagined does not happen; what happens cannot be imagined.” Similarly, this Government seems unable to grasp what actually happens. Thank you for the time.
