and more than 7 decades, myself and others reports from the capital colombo for one moment, see the problem with making it official after a roller coaster campaign to become philip as president under the commodities, the knock i took the oath of office before the chief justice on monday, the analysts say his promise to route out corruption was one of the leading sectors and he's election victory. the ones that were thought we must move on without corruption and fraud. and we expect those who were involved in these activities to be brought to justice. if not well, this leaders will face the same face of the time. we alternated between the 2 main parties and suffered at the hands of both with no relief. but we think this one will make a difference. this was one reason for the increased support for this on like a many said they believe he's pledges to change the system. that's a decades posted cronyism, this the politics and corruption as well as a collapsing economy. the result of unsustainable debt, financial mismanagement, and then he can all make down to an after the 2019 east. the bombing
