During the today’s debate on the budget, the former President said the poverty was a result of various economic policies that have been implemented for over 25 years in the country. He said the difficulties faced by the farmers and labourers need to be considered when it comes to finding solutions to eradicate poverty. “It appears the budget has several mid-term and long-term solutions to address these issues.
