| 1626092167704748033 | @NewsWireLK So @CEB_lk had a capacity/possibility to provide uninterrupted power supply even before 16th Feb! Otherwise how they could do it asa increasing tariff? So not having money for coal/no enough hydro power etc was a drama to increase bills? @kanchana_wij | 3 |
| 1627449687371309056 | @NewsWireLK RW top priority towards ‘Stability’ holding independence, perahera next a circus. They should have paraded the clown 🤡 itself. | 3 |
| 1627970957783740416 | @NewsWireLK Why are the demands/conditions for @IMFNews loan not made public? IMF is being used as the bogeyman by the govt to create fear & control the public into supporting them.

| 1625086842759688194 | @Sri_Lanka_Army @bbcsinhala @LkDefence @newsdotlk @NewsWireLK Using the military to do any other job other than ‘defense’ is high cost labour. What an absolute waste of tax funds! We can continue encouraging people to pay their taxes BUT what about the government’s responsibility to ensure it’s efficient use? #lka #EconomicCrisisLK https://t.co/4b4iW5g2vU | 2 |

| 1625211041993920535 | @NewsWireLK Both these scumbags should be arrested and fired under charges of corruption and abuse of power. Probably its not the first time they misuse the power but this is the first time they caught. The tourism department and the police department should apologize to the victims/tourists | 30 |
