Message from the Speaker Karu Jayasuriya:

“A New Year dawns with lots of fresh hopes in every heart.

I am of the firm conviction that we can make use of a New Year to rekindle the resolve in our hearts to achieve the productive targets of building a better society, which we missed in the year gone by,” Speaker Karu Jayasuriya said in a New Year message.

The message added: “The Year 2016 dawns at an era when governance which was limited to mere rhetoric of consensus and reconciliation, becomes a true power of the people.

The emergence of the new culture of consensual politics aimed at establishing good governance not only sets an example to the other countries but also opened a new chapter in our political history.

If all Sri Lankans show narrow attitudes and are determined to march forward in unity, this New Year will undoubtedly mark the beginning of an era of prosperity.

This ambitious journey requires the sincere commitment of the people as a whole.

This New Year will enable our people to relish a plethora of pro-people qualities of freedom. I sincerely hope that everybody will achieve success replete with peace, reconciliation and prosperity in the New Year that has just dawned.”
