Sri Lanka, Dec. 23 -- In the aftermath of the defeat of the budget, Colombo Mayor Vraie Cally Balthazar urged the members of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) to examine their conscience.

"You have not defeated the CMC budget but have defeated your own selves by going against your conscience. Examine your conscience and see what you have done," she told the council members.

She said she is looking forward to working with the CMC members and the staff despite the setback.
