Verity Research says that President Anura Dissanayake has fulfilled one of the 22 major promises included in his presidential election manifesto.
The institute says that this observation was made according to the ‘Anura Meter’, an online tool that monitors the progress of the promises included in President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s 2024 presidential election manifesto.
The promised that has been fulfilled is the revision of the Pay-As-You-Earn Tax.
The Anura Meter is operated by the manthree.lk website, which is run under Verity Research, and it examines 22 of the President’s promises, covering areas of high public interest such as economic reforms, governance, anti-corruption, law and order, and social security.
This classification of fulfilled promises represents 5% of the 22 selected promises, of which 35% have been partially fulfilled and another 14% have been initiated.
However, it states that there is no updated information on 10 of the 22 promises, or 45%.
