Before\ncoming to power, members of the current government promised various policy\nactions to people, and now it has come the right time for evaluating such\npolicies whether they were fulfilled or initiated to work on. This is a\ncritical question to people as they are eager to see the performance of the\ngovernment. The nature of politics in Sri Lanka is giving many promises without\nevaluating whether they could fulfill or ability to at least initiate them\nduring be in power. This is the misunderstanding or misreading of the term\ndemocracy. The promises were based on the policy statement that was called a\nProsperous Vision, voters had not a clear understanding of the vision and the\nmission that was so vague as the document didn\u2019t specifically express what kind\nof work will be fulfilled.  Now, the time\nis evaluating promises made to the public and the compact policy statement\nneeds to allocate the corporate role to each minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite\nevaluating the process, the media highlights that there are conflicts among the\ncabinet team members that have not been expected by people when they were\nvoting at the election. For example, Mr. Wimal Weerasinghe promised to\nestablish an Industrial Development Bank as the country needs medium-term\ncredits for industrial development purposes which could not be offered by\ntrading banks with short-terms, and on-demand liabilities base. Without\nmonitoring the promise Mr.Wimal Weerasinghe gives lorry talks on positions of\nPodujana Peramuna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npolicy conflicts are a common nature of the democratic system, the nature of\nconflicts in Sri Lanka seem to be gone beyond the limits. When investigating\nthe elected governments since 1947 it discloses that Sri Lanka\u2019s politics is\nsubject to division and people don\u2019t care whether divisions were based on the\nphilosophical points of the parties or any other matters.  People want to do work on the mission that was\ngiven at the election.  The objectives\nand activities were not properly defined in the vision, and people have faced a\ngiant confusion about how to evaluate the implementation of the government\npolicy process.  Many works in Sri Lanka\ncannot complete in a short period as they are involved in macroeconomic\nfactors.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is\nthere a team to evaluate the policy process relates the prosperous vision and\nwho are the members of the evaluating team is undisclosed truth to people, and\nstate ministers are responsible for initiating work for the mission. Some state\nministers are going behind media men to give voice cuts and others look to\nreact for the original voice cuts. That is why Sri Lanka wants a partial\ndictatorship to avoid this type of joke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nobvious nature is State and Cabinet ministers use to give voice cuts to media\nand they bring points that should be talked about in the darkness as they are\ncontrary to the original statement of prosperity. The best example was the\nconflict between Mr. Wimal Weerasinghe and the secretary of Podujana\nPeramuna.  Do these issues need to\npublish in media or they should be talked about in a closed-door room to\nevaluate and kids who are in grade 12 political science class know the\nstatement of Lord Ramse McDonald that ministers, you can talk whatever in this\nroom, but when you go out you should be abiding by one statement should express\nto people.  It seems that the idea of\nco-responsibility has deteriorated among the members of the cabinet, and it\ncould be further illustrated by a traditional saying if the fence and the\nembankment ate the paddy cultivation whom to complain about the problem?        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthis environment, it is difficult to make a judgment on the role played by the\nministers since they have been appointed to the role. There is no difference\nbetween ministers of this government and that previous government the old poet\nthat said until the role was achieved all do misleading and the truth in the\npolitics in Sri Lanka without difference whether they are in government side or\nthe opposition. All lie to the public with a view to gaining power and in the\ndemocratic system rulers as well as the public are behaving like crooks as\nstated by Machiavelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nis a truth the entire world has suffered from the Covid pandemic and\nMr.Gotabaya Rajapaksa has given the leadership to tackle the issues. Policy\ndevelopment, policy monitoring, and remedial management are equally vital\nactions to the government and the big bosses of the government need to engage\nin this role.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
