The Sri Lanka Institute of Directors (SLID) strongly condemns the Easter 2019 terrorist attacks and the actions of a small minority in perpetuating the harm caused to this country through hate speech and mob destruction.

SLID recognises the immediate need to resume livelihoods for many of our countrymen and for business to return to normal.

SLID Chairman

Preethi Jayawardena

SLID expresses grave concern regarding the lack of a coordinated situation report permitting the resumption of business as usual within the country. It urges the Government to respond to the requirements identified in the letter sentby the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce to the President and Prime Minister on 2 May. The sentiments expressed by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce that “the public needs a simple credible way to understand the security situation in the country at a given time, which gives the sufficient information to make decisions about their personal safety” have become even more urgent now, almost two weeks later.

Whilst expressing its deepest appreciation for the extraordinary services rendered by the Tri-Forces and Police in containing threats within Sri Lanka, SLID urges the Government to take immediate steps to establish a coordinated and credible information flow and the re-establishment of law and order to permit businesses and livelihoods to function in safety.

SLID strongly urges all politicians to ensure their supporters understand the importance of an inclusive stable normalcy for the future of Sri Lanka.
