Review summary

Namal Karunaratne promised February help for farming families. By March, he cited only harvest yield percentages. He swapped a human promise for a number the public cannot check. Accountability became abstraction.

This summary explains why the statements were paired. It is not a determination of intent, truthfulness, or wrongdoing.

Review summary

Namal Karunaratne promised farming families aid on February 3rd. Two days later, he spoke only of land grants and departmental approvals. He removed the human subject from his pledge. Procedure replaced people. This shift erases accountability.
