Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa says that if a prosperous country is to be built, correct policies must be created and for this, a policy formulation methodology that takes the ideas, proposals, thoughts and philosophies of the people flowing from the bottom up should be adopted and the role for a better country should be formalized through a number of aspects such as policy formulation, implementation and follow-up.
He further says that to achieve that goal, active participation, dedication, responsible data-based facts and proposals are required and that it can ensure public acceptance and credibility and that it should not be a program that is politicized based on false information and data.
