Top Tweets for #UnFitToGovern

During the presidential and parliamentary elections, I made it a point to closely evaluate the individuals the NPP was promoting as the future leadership of Sri Lanka. What I saw then was deeply concerning — a lot of noise, a lot of hype, but very little real substance. There was no meaningful track record, no proven competence, just exaggerated narratives. Fast forward a year into governance — and those concerns have been validated again and again. What we are witnessing today is not just incompetence. It’s a dangerous combination of inexperience, arrogance, and a refusal to take accountability. A “we know everything” attitude paired with childish defensiveness when things go wrong. The recent $2.5 million treasury scam is a perfect example. Look at the chaos: The Finance Secretary says it was a hacking. The Deputy Minister says it was not a hacking. Another claims investigations only started two days ago. Others admit it wasn’t even reported properly. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is already declaring there’s “no corruption” — before the investigation is even complete. Which version are we supposed to believe? Even more alarming now we’re hearing that additional documents have gone missing. This isn’t just mismanagement. This is systemic failure. Sri Lanka doesn’t have the luxury of learning through trial and error at this level. This is not about politics anymore. This is about competence, accountability, and the future of the country. Right now, we are being governed by confusion, contradiction, and crisis. We promised “system change”. We’re now experiencing “system failure”
