What a waste of Tax Payers money to hang these jokers.Why not utilize this money to clear the drains and repair some badly damaged roads.
C.K.Lankaputhra Monday, 18 June 2018 09:42 AM
Can anybody tell me how this display is beneficial to the tax payers and whose money will go to this.
Bandula Kendaragama Monday, 18 June 2018 09:45 AM
Several months ago we heard several millions of Rs spent (wasted) to repai a toilet. Now another 6 million for six portraits. Sri Lanka appeaes to be a rich country to sepend so much of tax payers money while several thousand people in Colombo living in temporary huts without bssic needs.

People's taxed money - PM says without taxing they cannot pay off loans. Isn't wasting money on hoardings carrying politicians' faces a necessity?

That is money well spent. I propose that a further 20 million is spent to erect huge cutouts of the CM in each village.
MP Monday, 18 June 2018 11:41 AM
TAXED MONEY AT "USELESS WORK"! Put a hoarding like that!
Waco Monday, 18 June 2018 01:30 PM
Are these decision makers in sound mental condition? What a crime this will be. Stop these nonsens immediately and feed the people who are staving.
Ceylon Monday, 18 June 2018 02:40 PM
None of these did any good thig to people.burn these.
Sincere Monday, 18 June 2018 02:55 PM
We hear one candidate of the Presidential elections in 2015 saying that he would never allow any of his cut outs to be displayed in any part of the country. See how these CM's violating his instructions by wasting public money!
MP Monday, 18 June 2018 06:07 PM
What you say is exactly correct. I too remember him saying so.
kathira Monday, 18 June 2018 05:48 PM

Mervyn perer Monday, 18 June 2018 06:40 PM
Their portraits should be made out of tar or human excreta.
Mandy Monday, 18 June 2018 10:48 PM
These portraits should be hung in the Rogues Gallery or the IRC Police Notice Board.
