President Gotabaya Rajapaksa admitted today that he made a mistake by banning chemical farming, and therefore he decided to re-introduce it. He also said the government should have reached out to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a programme much earlier.
Making his remarks to the newly appointed Cabinet ministers, the president said the public wrath over long queues for purchasing essentials is well understandable to him.
He said the government made mistakes, and they should be corrected to press ahead for the greater good of the country.
