Taking an extract from the link below,
“Sri Lanka’s debt situation is severe. The country is currently in $58.3 billion debt to foreign financiers,
and 95.4% of all government revenue is currently going towards paying back its loans. This means that out of
every hundred dollars the government brings in only $4.60 is going towards
essentials like education and public services.”
The above link from the reputed business
magazine FORBES shows the Chinese Entrapment Sri Lanka is in, and no wonder we
as a Country are caught between a rock and hard place unable to extricate
ourselves from this mess.
I don’t mind if it was that simple.
Problem being that we don’t have competent people who can run this Country
effectively if all debt was forgiven. They would get into the same debt trap,
and promise the SUN MOON AND STARS to the people and they will vote them back
into power having NOT learned a thing from 70 years of broken promises.
So how do we get back to normal? Simple
– Educating the people to think will be the first step. Teaching right and
wrong will be the second, and the 5 S system adopted by Japan is the third.
That done, we can go to the structural
weakness in our society, which is the political culture. The simplest solution
to that is to ONLY HAVE ONE TERM for anyone in public office. This last leg of
my plan, will ensure that ALL corruption, nepotism will stop, and only
professionally qualified or people with one or other of careers will go into
politics for one term to serve their Country, with none going for life as a
career as it is now.
This automatic change will ensure that
the public service will automatically strengthen to a level that is trusted,
and the numbers will dramatically fall, by half, allowing the existing service
to be well paid and release people to take over the employment opportunities
that cannot find sufficient workers to fill them. This will result in record economic
growth, and well on the way to peace and prosperity.
