Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne said that politicians are not suitable to occupy the seat of the Central Bank Governor.

Speaking about the rumors on the possibility of his appointment as the CB Governor, Wickramaratne also said that he cannot betray the people's mandate and confidence, which elected him to the Parliament.

Wickramaratne was speaking to the media at the Moratuwa railway station, where he arrived in a train from Colombo.

He said that he was a regular user of public transport, especially the train, as it saves time to travel by train than by road.

He also said that the government should invest more in public transport if it wants to institute real change.
