Sri Lanka’s leading business chambers on Monday jointly appealed to the Government to resolve the political crisis as quickly as possible.
In a public statement, the joint chambers of commerce representing diverse business and commerce interests, said they were concerned that the current political uncertainty will result in many adverse consequences to the country, if it remains unresolved.
In a stunning move last Friday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was sacked by President Maithripala Sirisena and former President and MP Mahinda Rajapaksa appointed in his place. However Wickremesinghe is refusing to step down saying the move was unconstitutional.
“We request the political authorities to resolve issues through the democratically established institutions as early as possible. We appeal to the political parties to ensure that law and order prevails and that danger to the life and property of citizens is prevented. All parties should act in the best interests of our country, our people and the national economy,” the statement said.
It was signed by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the National Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Chamber of Construction Industry, the National Chamber of Exporters, the Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs and Sri Lanka Apparel.
