Open letter to the Trade Minister

Dear Mr Gunawardene,

I have during these past 14 months listened to you with admiration in the manner that you have dissected the Mahinda Chinthanaya at your regular Press briefings. According to you the country was heading towards bankruptcy because of this Chinthanaya and the printing of money by the Central Bank.

I now understand that you and your colleagues have decided to support the Mahinda Chinthanaya without any reservations.

I look forward to listening to you in the future to be enlightened on how the Chinthanaya will now solve the Country's problems.

I wish you well in your endeavours as the entire country is burdened by the huge cost of living and we expect an economics maestro such as you to put theory into practice and provide the solution to this problem.
