These budgets will go over the roof when waste and corruption take place.

Guys... Here is the catch... Who is in charge of the Economic Development Budget...?

Rajitha Tuesday, 19 October 2010 12:57 PM

PM Tuesday, 19 October 2010 12:59 PM

Others please don’t shout, be patient.....your turn will come next year. We allocate the gathapanahawa / funds based on the priority level.

So he deserves the lion share. Are we in a democratic country or are we working on under a proprietory owner....

We all thought that with the end of the war, major portion of the budget will go towards redevelopment of the country. Sadly, once again most of the money will be on "defence" spending, when we boast that our country is now 'free and secure.'

There should be a big allocation of funds for minister delegation accompany H.E. overseas trips! Will the respective ministries will be able to afford??
