Opposition MP’s have requested the Government to change the decision made on fertiliser imports. This was expressed during a media brief held this morning (28) when the Opposition MP’s stated their concerns. We believe that the gazette issued restricting the import of fertiliser must be reversed so that the people of our country do not starve. Just as the gazette for the maximum retail price on rice was reversed, we request the Government to reverse the gazette on fertiliser as well,” stated Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Rohana Bandara. Another MP who voiced his views was SJB MP Hector Appuhamy.
