Govt. playing with human lives : Sajith

COLOMBO (News1st): The government is playing with human lives in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, opposition leader Sajith Premadasa has said. The Samagi Jana Balawegaya leader, speaking in Welimada, said the government should have considered the procurement of vaccines against the virus several months ago. "They should have thought about the vaccine instead of trying to increase the power that they already had," Premadasa insisted. He said the government has failed to respond aptly and instead made a mockery out of the issues relating to the health and education sectors in the country.
