Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The restructuring aims to assess whether state services should continue to be provided directly by the government or if engaging private-sector operators would be more cost-effective. The President noted that a strong private sector has emerged in areas where the government previously operated as the sole provider.

Anura Kumara Dissanayake previously led a campaign for democratic reform, expanding power through new legal frameworks involving the government and a state.
