Has AKD/NPP Lied?: Response To Sagara Kariyawasam

By Asoka S. Seneviratne –

Prof. Asoka.S. Seneviratne

“Those who dwell in ivory towers are often oblivious to the true struggles of the people below.”

As it was reported in media (i.e. Divaina & Lankadeepa) recently, the General Secretary of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, (SLPP), and Attorney Sagara Kariyawasam had stated in a meeting of SLPP’s headquarters that the government wants to postpone budget in order to win local elections by lying, as it did with the presidential and general elations. As per Sagara Kariyawasam, the  said lies were basically related to reduction of VAT and income tax that AKD/NPP government is committed to work in due course along with the next government budget,  agreement and program of IMF. AKD/NPP lied and won the presidential and general elections are is a serious allegation in many mays. The purpose of this article is to respond the above allegation.

Local Elections: The Supreme Court of Order in August 2024

There are 340 local authorities comprising 24 Municipal Councils, 41 Urban Councils and 275 Divisional Councils. In Sri Lanka, last local elections were held in 2018. Election Commission, which is an independent authority is responsible to hold local elections. Local Elections were was originally scheduled to be held in 2022, but were postponed to 2023 due to the worsening economic crisis and instability in the country.

It should be mentioned that in August 2024, the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has ordered the Election Commission to take measures to hold the postponed Local Government Elections immediately. The court also ruled that the fundamental rights of voters have been violated through the postponement of the 2023 Local Government Elections by the incumbent government. Issuing its verdict on August 22 , 2024 , the Supreme Court ruled that the President, as (i) the Minister of Finance, and (ii) the members of the Election Commission have violated the fundamental rights of voters.

Responding to the verdict, Commissioner General of Elections Saman Sri Ratnayake had said, the Election Commission accepts the Supreme Court’s ruling on the postponement of the Local Government Elections. Speaking to the media Ratnayake had said that the Election Commission will convene and take a decision on the next steps to be taken concerning the election. Mr. Ratnayake added that the Election Commission had tried its best to find a way to hold the election under the given circumstances. In view of the above,  Sri Lanka’s local council election will certainly  take place early next year (2025), Election Commission announced and confirmed many times and also by the government. This means that holding local elections is on track.

Responsibility of the Current Minister of Finance

In the above mentioned Supreme Court’s ruling on the postponement of the Local Government Elections, then Minister of Finance (i.e. Ranil Wickremesignhe) had been named as a violator of the fundamental rights of voters. Given the above, the current Minister of Finance, Anura Kumara Dissanayake is fully committed to accept the Supreme Court’s ruling by allocation of the required funds, so that the Minister has already done that. In short, no need to write about the Election Commission as it has accepted the Supreme Court’s ruling and hence working in the right direction. Given the above, both Election Commission and the government are on track to hold local election early in the next year, there is no apparent and valid treason and concern for Sagara Kariywasam to talk about the local government elections and postponement of the government budget that are totally different subject matters. There is no doubt that Sagara Kariyawasam wants to attack and condemn the government headed by AKD alleging it is JVP, low quality mind of Sagara Kariyawasam.   

Postponement of the Government Budget

Because of the general election on 14 November 2024, there was a consideration that the time available for submitting budget proposals or fully pledged budget was too short. The Public Financial Management (PMF) Act No.44 of 2024 specifies that in the event the appropriation bill for the succeeding year is not approved by Parliament by 31 December of the current year, the minister of finance shall submit a vote on account to Parliament, under which the Parliament shall allocate funds for ongoing projects and continuously provide specified public services which need to be maintained. Given the above, government will first present a vote on account to cover the expenses for the first four months of 2025, followed by the full national budget for the year. Apart from timing, government discussion with the IMF was also consideration because budget may need to align with the policies and targets of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A Vote on Account is not a new phenomenon, because government had employed a vote on account on numerous occasions, including in 2019.

I explained the above to present situation and circumstances that the new government headed by president Anura Kumara Dissanayake (AKD) opted for a Vote on Account not exceeding 4 months until full national budget for the year 2025 is presented in April. In short, the government has followed the Public Financial Management (PMF) Act No.44 of 2024,  by respecting parliamentary democracy. In other words, the government has not done anything arbitrary or ad hoc manner. It is so unfortunate that Sagara Kariyawasam, apart from being  the General Secretary of SLPP,  was a former MP and Attorney-at-law,  cannot understand the government has not postponed the presentation of the fully pleased budget. According to the latest news, budget proposals for 2025 will be presented on January 9.

Has AKD/NPP lied to win Elections? 

According to Sagara Kariywasam, AKD/NPP lied to win the presidential and general elections, the massive allegation, worth inquiring. Compared to many coalitions, re-coalitions, alliances and new alliances, the biggest alliances and so on, one party under the banner of NPP, AKP obtained 5, 749, 179 or 42 percent votes with presidential election while the opposition comprised of well over 100 political parties and independent candidates obtained  52 percent votes. As per Sagara Kariyawasam, 5, 749, 179 voters were caught by lies of AKD/NPP. This really undermines the profound and committed consent of 5, 749, 179 voters of AKD or it is a disgrace for the voters. In others words, Sagara Kariyawasam treats 5, 749, 179 voters of AKD as fools, ultimate condemnation of committed voters. This condemnation vividly indicates the quality of Sagara Kariyawasam, not as Attorney-at Law often in European suit or as the General Secretary of SLPP, but as an individual with common sense or knowledge. On the other hand, other presidential candidates including Namal Rajapaksa, if had said the truth to the 58 percent voters, but voters did not accept the truth and hence  other presidential candidates including Namal Rajapaksa lost, very unfortunate affairs of politics in Sri Lanka.  Anyway, it is believed that Sagara Kariyawasam and Mahinda Rajapaksa must have had given political lessons to Namal Rajapaksa how to win elections by telling the truth,  the only the bitter truth well known to them.  I will come to this point next.

The end of “Walawwa politics…and political Tsunami..”

I wrote two articles to Colombo Telegraph, “The End Of Wallawwa Politics & Beginning of NPP Politics” on 17 September 2024, well before the presidential election on 21 September 2024, and clearly explained reasons and causes of the end of Wallawwa and elite class dominated politics in Sri Lanka along with the presidential election on 21 September which became true. In short, people faced numerous hardships, mainly along with increasing cost of living, but they wanted to change governing system due to unabated frauds, waste, corruption, mismanagement,  and many more together selfishness and asset accumulation of politicians and their cronies by totally ignoring the very purpose they had been elected by the people, the bitter truth with Mahinda Rajapaksa and family as well. AKD/NPP has been totally opposite of the above, close to the hearts of the people, living with them, the truth or the bitter truth that Sagara Kariyawasam must understand and digest. Along with that bitter truth, cost of living or increasing cost of living has not been a matter of 5, 749, 179 voters of AKD.

My other article to Colombo Telegraph before the general election on 14 November 2024, “Political Tsunami Of UNP, SLFP, SJB & SLPP & Their Destiny With General Election” on 18 October 2024, concluded “All opposition parties ignored AKD’s victory, stating that 58% were against him. However, an in-depth analysis indicated that 58% is a political Tsunami for UNP, SLFP, SJB, and SLPP. None is interested in having a premiership, and as someone claimed, strong opposition is essential but it may be in vain. Given the above and among many, the public will observe the last rites for UNP, SLFP, and SLPP after the general election on 14th November 2024,  the power of democracy that political parties and leaders should understand even after 76 years. President AKD/NPP led strong, and quality parliament will ensure the public expectation for “A Thriving Nation, A Beautiful life.” It is true that people observed last rites of the opposition and AKD/NPP led strong and quality parliament was the one and only expectation of the people, not the any immediate relief measures as Sagara Kariyawasam asserted. In short, what the country and people value and signify about AKD is the matter. His unappalled quality, character, trustworthiness, simplicity, excellence and many more the matters, as I vividly explained in my article to Colombo Telegraph,The Meaning Of Rata Anurata” on 26 August 2024. Giving the above, it was the ground reality with AKD/NPP that was caught by the voters,  not any lies of AKD/NPP, as asserted by Sagara Kariyawasam.

Political Lessons to Sagara Kariyawasam and Namal Rajapaksa

By obtaining 6,863, 186 or 52 percent votes, AKD/NPP won an unprecedented victory in the history of politics in Sri Lanka with the general election, carved on rock. As per Sagara Kariyawasam, this too was due to lies by AKD/NPP. Again, he treated voters as a bunch fools caught by AKD/NPP. As it was not the ground reality with AKD/NPP,  Sagara Kariyawasam became totally handicapped in politics. Namal Rajapaksa by knowing the destiny, or the Political Tsunami I explained, did not want to contest or utter truth or lies,  and crept to the parliament, many thanks to the creators of national list. It is a well-known fact that within a few months that AKD/NPP government has done many things for the welfare improvement of the people, including provision fertilizer subsidy and pension. But Sagara Kariyawasam cannot appreciate and value them because he is blind and his only aim is to make Namal Rajapaksa President of Sri Lanka along with the expectation of Mahinda Rajapakasa, undermining AKD/NPP government throughout. In other words, it is so unfortunate that Sagara Kariyawasam possesses low quality traits that are not even suitable for a cowboy or cattle hurdler, he must open his brain before he opens his mouth to condemn AKD/NPP government and millions of voters who supported. Given the above, I must state that by telling the truth, living with people, AKD/NPP will govern the country for decades, so that Namal Rajapaksa and Sagatra Kariyawasam will never be elected to the parliament by the voters in the country, “Madamulana Dynasty” or “Sataka Nataka” politics is dead and gone. I am not going to write about others in the opposition because they are yet rocking on the Wel Palama or Rope Bridge, while the government headed by AKD/NPP is on track with the masses of Sri Lanka. The best option for the opposition is to invite AKD to deliver political lessons how he became the president of Sri Lanka within 20 years, while the opposition failed it for nearly 50 years, so the bitter truth can be leaned, as the lies are already with them.

      Of course they lied, or, to put a better face on it, they along with their gullible voters sincerely believed that there were other ways of running a bankrupt country. Of course there are ways, but all of them involve hard work, low pay, and and austerity . Not something that will make them popular.
      There was much talk about defeating the rice mafia, egg mafia, coconut mafia, oil mafia, etc, but reality seems to have hit the NPP.
      I would have suggested that they first tackle the airport mafia which keeps buses away from the airport, but even they are still in place two months after the election, like the matter of private buses not issuing tickets. How can a government tackle major players when it can’t even get bus tickets issued?
      As I seem to keep repeating, if they announced before the election that this was the way they were going to run the country, I would have voted for them. I prefer AKD as a person to Ranil, but here we have AKD’s face and Ranil’s economics Not a bad combination, I say.

        NPP is painfully realising that you can say anything in public platform, but when you come to governance it is entirely different. My advice to NPP is : Formulate the correct policy, foot down your feet and deliver. Do not worry about critics and waste time and energy answering them. Ignore them and proceed provided what you are doing is correct. I faced this problem ten years ago in the biggest Srilankan organisation in UK, when people tried to sabotage my work and even attempted to bring a no confidence motion against me, when I was performing well. I ignored my enemies and continued to produce results such that the final outcome is still unmatched. NPP must conserve their time and energy to develop new ideas and outsmart their opponents. Recent permission for Tamils to commemorate their war heroes is an excellent goodwill move which received plaudits even from Tamil detractors. Notice that it is only fringe elements in Pohotuwa and others are making noises and not mainstream parties, because Sajith or Ranil cannot go to Tamils canvassing if they oppose such moves.

    Does anyone have to give any weightage to what this SLPP general Secretary says? In our colloquial language, (Andamanda vela or cannot find where North & South), this man has become highly disoriented after the Parliamentary elections, where his party managed to secure an insignificant number of votes, counting only 350,429, equal to only 3.14%. His party managed only to get “One” seat in Parliament—that also, thanks to the National List allocation. He did not have the confidence and the courage to nominate his party’s main candidate Namal R (whom they wanted to make King of the Dynasty) to contest from the Rajapakse “Kingdom” of Hambantota, but included him in the National List. Now, consider “Rajapakses” are a “Non-Entity” thanks to the “Rational Thinking” (not those Thanakola-eating and Punnakku-drinking people termed by foreign-domiciled Sri Lankans based in Germany) people of Sri Lanka.

    He is a Lawyer? What? I think he is well-fitting to be in the company of Ranil W – another Lawyer who never knew from what entrance to enter the courthouse. In short, these are a “Gang” of “Briefless Barristers”.

    Please don’t waste time giving undue prominence to these “Baka Pandithayas” who should be allowed to rot where they are.

    Title of article: “Has AKD/NPP Lied?….”

    I think they have. Without going into details the following and others not mentioned:

    1. Their stance on the IMF Agreement before and after the elections.
    2. What they said about the electricity charges before and after the elections.
    3. Before elections–Did they say that not a single grain of rice would be imported under an NPP government? After elections–Tons of rice will be imported to meet the shortfall in rice.
    4. Their hypocrisy in boycotting the tea party in Parliament when in opposition and hosting a tea party after the first session of Parliament under the new NPP government. When confronted with this hypocrisy, Nalinda Jayatissa said that “hospitality” necessitated it!
    5. What they said about eating in the Parliament canteen and their attitude after the elections.

    Those with a better memory than me could perhaps add to the above list.

      Mr. Jayawardena, I read your comment with much more care than ever before. I am glad that at least one commentator was able to summarise it and break the silence.

      Everything you have said above is very accurate regarding the current political chaos faced by AKD voters and those against it. I thank you for that.
      :
      Anyone with any sense, regardless of their bias, must agree with you on everything from 1) to 5). However, the majority of our primitive people, like some of the commenters, never come to see the truths with their own eyes and heads, on the contrary, they are forced to behave like four-legged creatures (AMU HARAK).

      On the positive side, I am impressed with the NPPs cabinet selections on the whole, including their disregard of DEI when selecting—way to go!

      For those who might not know, DEI stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which is part of a decadent western ideology.

        LJ,
        Egg prices dropped to 28 or so after AKD became president, and his hangers-on were quick to take the credit, saying that the former minister pocketed 10 rupees per egg. Now that eggs have gone back to 45, no one is willing to comment.
        As for fuel prices, the new CPC chairman claimed that they were hamstrung by the fuel price formula, but now the new minister says he sees no need to change the formula.

          if they said that the former minister pocketed rs 10 on a egg because the eggs dropped to 28 rupees after AKD came to power,then since the eggs have now gone back to rs.45,then is the current minister poketing rs.10 per egg?

        Your denial of facts I would attribute to two reasons:

        1. First, like most Sri Lankans living abroad (Germany, as I gather from your comment), you are not as familiar with local news and affairs as you would be if you lived here, so your ignorance is understandable.

        2. Cult mentality. Your deluded and idealistic view of the NPP/JPP makes you balk at even the possibility that the NPP/JPP could have lied.

        A very disconcerting trend I observed during the run up to the recently concluded elections was the denial by some, esp. of the younger generation, of the past atrocities of the JVP.
        Denial of facts and confirmation bias–two characteristics of a biased, irrational mind.

        That said, I am now glad that Anura and the NPP got elected in spite of the views I had expressed before the elections. My worst fears about the JVP/NPP have not yet been realized and I hope for the sake of the country that they will do a decent job of governing during their tenure and bring about the needed reforms. I agree with Tilvin Silva’s recent comment that if the NPP fails there is no more hope for this country.

          LJ: Thanks. My reference to “Germany” has been misunderstood. I am very much alive and active in S/L.

          Those matters you listed from 1 to 5 are cosmetic that any political party would apply in an election time. This is not limited to S/L but happens the world over. Apart from those “cosmetic” matters, I am confident that the only turnover that could be expected is from NPP. If NPP fails, all of us will have to give up hope. The matters you raised are not the pivotal points at this moment. The most important issues concern economic, political, and social problems. The other critical matter is to put the house in order without which nothing could be achieved. So let us help this Government on those matters rather than talking of “Canteens”.

          Best regards.

          “2. Cult mentality. Your deluded and idealistic view of the NPP/JPP makes you balk at even the possibility that the NPP/JPP could have lied..”

          This kind of mindset is not new to Sri Lankan society.
          They repeat their mistakes as if caught in a vicious cycle. No matter what higher degree they obtained from universities, Sinhalese end up believing their myths or believing what others believe, as identified by the Indian-born socio-psychoanalyst Professor Kovur 6 decades ago.

          For me, it is like the genetically modified laboratory rats that were used for my lab experiments at the German Cancer Center about 20 years ago. People generally do not have their own opitnions in our population. They can be easily manipulated. We have plenty of examples in the CT forum alone (e.g. Bandarawela, Unawatuna). Period.

            cont.
            A former army officer who spent 15 long years in America doing survival jobs was introduced as a gladiator for Sri Lankan affairs by the “mlechcha” media and Sanga Brigade made into a “hero” of their political clan. The distorted Buddhism or Sinhala Buddhism and its culture stood behind the falsehood and Rajapaksaism became the religion-like to sinhala buddhists across the country for the 2 decades.
            Those who supported for the election of “GOTABAYA” were almost the same fools that elected AKD who is now in u-return mode with his pre-election rhetorics (AKD and MARA have much in common, they can finely manipulate the fools).
            So what can you expect from stupid voters? That is why I am compelled to brand not only politicians like the Rajapaksas but whole lot of our people as complicit in the downfall of Sri Lanka.

        Douglas:
        “Those matters you listed from 1 to 5 are cosmetic that any political party would apply in an election time.”

        So you have gone from calling me “Pacha Wardena” for listing those five items to dismissing them as just “cosmetic,” tacitly admitting their veracity.

        Now who is the real Pachaya?

        I wonder how many were influenced by what you call “cosmetic matters”–and there were other statements made before the election–when deciding to vote for the NPP. To the extent they were the statements that turned out to be lies–however sincerely they may have been made at the time–did matter.

        Also, you can’t call the NPP’s pre-election stance on the IMF Agreement as “cosmetic” and not “pivotal.” It WAS an “economic” issue, contrary what you write. (Words within quotes all your words.)

    I hear that most of the corrupt politicians who were kicked out by the people are now shell-shocked and panic-stricken due to being stripped of all their salaries, perks and privilieges and therefore no longer able to live off the taxpayers’ money. They don’t know how to make a living honestly either so the future looks bleak for them. However, being tenacious characters who are addicted to power they don’t want to retire from politics and are anxious to recapture what they have lost.

    Therefore, in their desperation they are flocking to consult astrologers and soothsayers, posing questions to them like how long will this government last, and what must be done to reclaim their previous positions, which are really their birthright.

    To be honest, I find it entertaining to watch them running around like headless chickens, while flinging accusations at the new government!

      “what is new. they all lie and the poor people fall for it”
      There is something new. We should understand that how many lies we have come across the past 76 years. But we never bothered about some truths. Bankruptcy is truth or false? Easter Bombing is truth or false? Racism is truth or false? Religious Fundamentalism is truth or false? Jaffna Library was burnt. Is it true or False. 95% of Military and Police force is Sinhala. Is it true or false?
      We just talk about egg price, electricity price. Yes, they are high. We should be happy that there was no talk of racism in this election. The lost ones in this election may try best to to come back again now or later. This is democracy.
