National Peoples’ Power (NPP) Mayoral candidate for Colombo Vraie Cally Balthazaar says changes must be implemented in the local government institutions, which are filled with corruption.
Balthazaar said making changes to the local government institutions was the only way to bring the decisions of the Parliament to the grassroots.
“We changed the Parliament. Now, it is essential to change the system of the local government institutions. I am confident that the people will give us a chance to make that change,” she said.
Balthazaar made the remarks while responding to reporters on contesting as Colombo Mayoral Candidate in the upcoming Local Government Elections.
Also commenting to the media, Deputy Minister of Public Security Sunil Watagala expressed confidence in Vraie Cally Balthazaar’s victory.
“Not only winning, but she is the next Colombo Mayor,” he added. (Newswire)
