Question

write a speech and your opinion on ballot is stronger than buller

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln had said “The Ballot is stronger than the Bullet.   Sri Lankans using the ballot elected the present President - for a change - to establish good governance and rule of law as a “peace dividend”   for the betterment of the people.  

The President has already taken certain steps to fulfill some of the pledges given during the Presidential election campaign – 19th Amendment is a major step in that direction. It looks some voters do not seem to understand the implications with regard to endemic corruption,   arbitrary abuse of power etc.   Due to autocratic style, freedom of speech,   democratic mechanisms for accountability,  independence of the judiciary did not exist during the previous regime.  

What is happening right now?   Colloquially we say in Sinhala ‘CHANDA-GUNDU’ and voters need to realise that every politician knows the promises during election campaign need not be fulfilled.  They use CHANDA-GUNDU heavily in an attempt to attract more votes and the voter gets carried away at every single election.   The wise old saying – “Fool me once,  shame on you.  Fool me twice,   shame on me”,   does not seem to apply to our voters.  It is,   therefore,   a crucial decision for the well-meaning public who should use their vote wisely without getting caught to false propaganda and promises; I quote “Money and corruption are ruining the land,  crooked politicians betray the working man,  pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep,  and we are tired of hearing promises that we know they’ll never keep” Ray Davies.

Life for Sri Lankans continued to be a never-ending struggle even after winning the war.  Hence,   the countrymen raised the question why should people suffer endlessly when war related wasteful expenditure had ceased;   politicians led wasteful luxurious lives.   Public money wasted; Corruption,   nepotism,   misuse of government assets, funds, abuse of power, lack of planning for industrialisation continued unabated for private gain.  

Furthermore,   state funds had been disbursed to fictitious accounts and non-existent public works.    We are,   therefore,  at crossroads to ascertain how we should govern ourselves in the coming decades.  We should re-position our plans to determine our future,   which should necessarily provide for new possibilities of ethnic harmony,  co-operation and unity across a plural civilisational landscape.
