Today, December 22, 2025, marks the one-quarter point, 15 months of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s five-year term. As 25% of the valuable time entrusted by the public with the "hope for change" expires, fierce criticism is erupting nationwide that all the massive promises made by the JVP-led government remain confined solely to files.

The Jathika Jana Balawegaya (NPP)-led administration of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) suffered a devastating defeat today (December 22nd). The budget proposal for the year 2026 was defeated by a majority of 03 votes, creating a serious crisis regarding the governance of the city of Colombo.

Despite being elected on a promise of "System Change," the current government is facing serious scrutiny as several incidents reveal that injustice to ordinary citizens and honest officials continues unabated.
