Our development works were not properly communicated to the public: President
One of the weaknesses of our government was that our development works were not properly communicated to the people, the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said today (25). In this context, he said that the people witnessed only problems through media platforms. He stressed that people should be aware of the development works done by the government even if it does not carry out propaganda activities to inflate personalities.

Under the current circumstances with the debt crisis, the President noted that it is the responsibility of the government to prevent the occurrence of a foreign exchange crisis.
