ජීවිත බිලිගත් හදිසි ආපදා තත්ත්වය ගැන අසා මම කැළඹීමටත් ශෝකයටත් පත් වුණෙමි. විපතට පත් ජනතාවට වහා සහන සපයන ලෙස නිලධාරීන්ට දැනුම් දුන්නෙමි.

What does "maximum" mean when it comes to giving relief to people affected by disasters? We are of course aware as to what "minimum" means when it comes to giving relief to the Ministers and MPs. Please clarify, Mr. President. Thank you.

Stop the issuance of new luxury vehicles for these useless lazy MP's and spend that money on poor citizens of our country Mr President.Give all the MP's a good kick up their bums - that is exactly what they deserve

A true leader feels for his people and country, and would have rushed back in this hour of need. This is no different to Nero playing the Fiddle when Rome was burning !
