In the wake of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) budget being voted down, Colombo Mayor Vraie Cally Balthazar appealed to councillors to engage in serious self-reflection over their decision.
Addressing the council, the Mayor said that the budget’s defeat was not a loss for the institution, but rather a failure of personal accountability. She urged members to consider whether their actions aligned with their conscience and the responsibilities entrusted to them.
Despite the outcome, Mayor Balthazar said she remains committed to working collaboratively with CMC members and municipal staff, expressing hope for continued cooperation in serving the residents of Colombo.
