Cabraal goes silent on Twitter

-

Former Governor of Central Bank of Sri Lanka Ajith Nivard Cabraal resigned from his post in the wake of the whole Cabinet of Ministers resigning early this month due to widespread protests.

It seems the former Governor who was very active on microblog – Twitter has disappeare­d from the platform all of a sudden. His official Twitter handle is no longer active.

The former Governor came under severe criticism recently by social media users for the irrational policies he adopted and ill-advised the President and for mishandlin­g the country’s economy in general with his so called ‘home grown solution’ instead of reaching out to the Internatio­nal Monetary Fund before things got worse.

Some users stressed that since they have screen shots of critical tweets published by the Governor, they suggested Mr Cabraal should be prosecuted for criminal negligence considerin­g his failure to prevent the country from being dragged to its current level of bankruptcy.
