The Hon. Ruwan Wijeweera
Hon. Ruwan Wijeweera, speaking during the debate on the Ministry of Power and Energy expenditure head, noted that Opposition members had offered numerous policy suggestions on energy and wider economic development. He questioned why those proposals were not implemented when the Opposition previously held power, framing his intervention as a challenge to their record in government.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, joining the debate on the Head of Expenditure of the Ministry of Power and Energy is a pleasure. Listening from morning, it is clear the Opposition has given a host of “instructions” not only on energy but across sectors—how to develop, what direction to take, how to harness economic strengths. We thank them on one hand, but the question is: having been in power for long, why could you not take the country in those very directions?
