“The debt crisis created in this country by the Yahapalana Government has now reached a critical stage. The total Government debt which was Rs. 7.39 trillion at the time this Government came into power in January 2015 had skyrocketed to Rs. 12.64 trillion by the end of July 2019 – an increase of 71%.
