AMS expresses concern over crisis in Sri Lanka

11 Apr 2022

The Association of Medical Specialists (AMS) have released a media statement expressing concern over the current economic crisis in Sri Lanka. The statement was released today (11) and mentioned that with the unrest caused due to the economic crisis, an uprising was justifiable. "The current public uprising seems quite spontaneous, intrinsic and justifiable in the backdrop of scarcity of essentials, long powercuts and rising cost of living. Speculations of Sri Lank is in the verge of becoming another failed nation by many economic and political analysts are turning out to be the real unkess wift remedial measures are taken both at the economic and political front, " the statement read. It further read that as professionals, the Association of Medical Specialists beleived that it was their moral right to explain and advise and guide rulers when the country is headed towards a disaster. " We strongly believe that if our advise is taken in the right spirit will invariably help the nation as a whole to recover from this chaos and uncertainty in the country. We as a group urge all all responsible groups to act in good faith," the statement mentioned. It then listed out recommendations which the association said should be considered as an immediate course of action- 1. Take swift political measures to establish political stability to achieve economic stability in turn. Seek support required from IMF and other international agencies to overcome the current crisis. To achieve this goal, certain political sacrifices may be required from all political parties to establish a stable government which is essential to win the confidence of such international organisations. 2. All political parties should compromise and come to a consensus to form an interim government with small number of cabinet ministers purely to bail out the nation from current crisis. Moreover, necessary constitutional reforms should be brought forward to take the country forward discarding individual party interests. 3. Appoint an interim cabinet of ministers (less than 15) who are of highest integrity, knowledgeable in the field, trustworthy and experienced. These parliamentarians with a track record of honesty should be handpicked for a specific job irrespective of the political party they belong to. 4. Special emphasis should be there to choose a credible and qualified finance minister on a priority basis to initiate and lead discussions with the IMF and other international agencies. "We are in the opinion that if these measures are taken urgently, the nation would recover," the statement concluded.
