Rosy Loves Challenges

Rosy Senanayake, who has become the first Mayoress of Colombo, yesterday said she likes challenging jobs. Hence, she  is prepared to face any challenge that would come her way.

“People talk about challenges when women were coming in for politics at this election but women also can take up any challenge a man can face, ” Ms. Senanayake said. Her immediate challenge is to eradicate corruption and making Colombo a smart city. The Colombo Municipal Council will have the highest number of women members in the history with the ruling party having nine women.

She has planned to undertake tasks by adopting first  with a three month, secondly a six month programme and finally  a one year programme.

Though her ward is a predominantly a Sinhalese one but thanked all voters belonging to all ethnic and religious groups for their support.
