Sri Lanka cricket legend Kumar Sangakkara says Sri Lankan citizens need immediate solutions to address the national crisis in the short term and long term.
Speaking during an Instagram interview, Sangakkara said that just 226 people have destroyed the country of 21 million people.
“A country of 21 million has been brought to its knees by 226 people. The leaders we have elected have put in place bad policies and exercised terrible fiscal management, but worse they have shown absolutely no regret for putting their own citizens in this life-threatening situation,” he said.
Stating that there are talks of a national or caretaker Government, the former Sri Lanka cricketer said the people need immediate short term and long term solutions to the crisis.
“Shuffling the same deck of politicians in the hope that a week of gas or electricity or a week of food supplies is going to make the people shut up and be placid and more malleable again is not going to work again for these politicians. For this Government, for anyone,” he pointed out.
