07 Feb, 2016

The public have been urged to make complaints if there is political interference at independent institutions, the Ministry of Finance said today.

The Ministry quoted Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake as saying everyone must get together to create a new Sri Lanka following the political and social change in the country.

The Minister said that the Government is keen to ensure the law is fully implemented.

He said that the police is now able to operate independently unlike before where there was political interference.

The Minister said the police must now show the public that there is a change instead of misusing their powers.
