it is the will of the people that will decide the nations destiny and for sirisena to declare otherwise is a notion and a crazy one too. Sirisena with the collusion of ranil may plan but thees plans are futile for the coalition has failed in feeding the population and is ignorant of the looming famine and has no clue as to what need to be done and if he feels that he can get over over it by going about with a begging bowl he is ignorant as to what is happening globally in relation to agriculture. UN has declared that it needs 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) dolarrs to avert famine in north africa and sri kankans are lwoer in the pecking order and has not been named. The situation will take at least another two years to recover provided that the farmers are provided seed paddy fertiliser etc and not paper money
