Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has accused the government that it has no proper strategy on acquiring Covid-19 vaccines for the country.
The UNP leader shared these views while answering questions raised during a discussion held in Nugegoda.
“The government has said that all will receive the vaccine by March. It is a complete lie. I have got know that the Government has asked export businessmen for a grant of US $10 million. We could have managed this amount from the Budget, instead we are begging from the private sector.” He said.
Answering a question raised from the gathering on what strategies would have be taken to develop the tourism sector if it was a UNP lead government, Mr. Wickramasinghe jokingly replied “There is an advantage, we are not the Government or in the Parliament now”
