\u201cWe will not allow the trust the people have placed in us to be undermined in any way,\u201d stated President Anura Kumara Dissanayake during a meeting with the heads of state media today (13).<\/p>\n
He further emphasised, \u201cRegardless of their status in government, if mistakes are made, we will not hesitate to take appropriate action,\u201d according to the President\u2019s Media Division (PMD).<\/p>\n
The President further explained:<\/p>\n
\u201cFor more than seven decades, the people of this nation have built and dismantled various governments. For the first time, we stand with a profound understanding of the historic mandate entrusted to us and the National People\u2019s Power on two occasions.<\/p>\n
The people placed their faith in the National People\u2019s Power (NPP) government, hoping for a standardised and stable country. We will not tarnish that extraordinary trust, even by the slightest misconduct.<\/p>\n
Simply put, our government is not here to shield anyone who errs, for any reason. Be it within the broader framework of the country or within our administration, anyone found guilty of wrongdoing will face consequences. We will not hesitate to act decisively and at the right time.<\/p>\n
In essence, our government will not shield anyone who makes a mistake, regardless of the reason. Whether the mistake occurs within the country or at any level within our government, we will not hesitate to take decisive action. Every necessary step will be taken at the appropriate time without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake also reaffirmed his government\u2019s unwavering commitment to upholding the trust placed in them by the people, who have endured decades of deception. He pledged to work tirelessly to build a better nation, the PMD added.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Health and Mass Media, Dr Nalinda Jayatissa, Director-General of Government Information, Harsha Bandara, and the heads of state media were present at the meeting.<\/p>\n
