NPP: in power for 1 & 7/12 years, not 2 & 5/12!
This is a useful article Daily Mirror (Sri Lanka) because the cost of living, medicine shortages, child nutrition, public-sector scams, suspicious deaths, and corruption investigations all deserve serious public attention.
One small timeline point may need clarification. As at 10 May 2026, AKD has been President since September 2024, and the NPP parliamentary government followed the November 2024 election. So the period is closer to about one year and seven months at the presidential level, and about one year and six months at the parliamentary level, rather than two years and five months.
That clarification does not reduce the importance of the wider issues raised. The public still deserves clear answers on prices, wages, medicine availability, nutrition, fraud investigations, and accountability.
