President Sirisena has said that policies and programs of the administration has to be improved, following the hammering at local council polls.<\/p>\n

“Taking the people’s message expressed at the recent #LGpollSL, the government needs to improve its policies, programmes and actions to serve our people better,” the President said in a twitter.com message.<\/p>\n

“The first priority of my government is the people and the country.”<\/p>\n

A high profile bondscam connected to then Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendra, inflation and currency depreciation as well as President Sirisena’s attacks on the coalition contributed to the vote losses, according to political analysts.<\/p>\n
