All previous governments baked large cakes but they were all half baked, bitter, decorated with corruption, harmful and eventually became rotten in a short period of time. So !!! eat the cake first before handing it out.

Mind you, as you are still learning, the majority of the people does not fit into your narrative to enjoy the so -called cake.

Typical communist ideology. Equal sharing is one sided , what about equal effort? Many are not putting any effort , do nothing and expect to share the efforts of hard working others? Can we find a good reliable person to-do household work , the answer is no. Can we find a good reliable person to look after an empty house? The answer is no. Can we find people to work in the agriculture, the answer is no. But all these lazy unreliable dishonest guys want equal share , a failed communist ideology.

Oh. Dear. Can any one explain what is the difference in last RW budget and this one. It is nothing but a carbon copy of the policies of previous governments. IMF conditions remain the same, economic fundamentals are the same, lot of words but no substance how to reach the targets. We will do that we will do this, we will digitalize we will create holding companies, we will restructure SOEs we will have PPP s for investments,, no specific incentives for export sector or SMEs except a new bank, just adding to finance cost. Where is the SYSTEM CHANGE??????

With a bankrupt economy evolving a beneficiary budget is highly appreciated. Critiques always critise finding loop holes. This is the time to show unity and support the government.

Increasing private sector salaries does not make sense. Waste of money be government.

Well I can’t believe he made large cakes for distribution to the rich and poor. I am very disappointed. He must ask large sausage of unelected master debating ex president as he loves foreign chef who makes it edible. But when he see unelected president he must make sure he wears ball guard and bum guard in all climate.

Mr Handun, it may look like a cake to you, but it's a huge පුස් බනිසක්.

Where is the cake. There is no Cake but only a pile of S..t . (Heap of debt) You have to first prepare and bake the cake , especially a big one but what we see only empty words no substance. Perhaps voters will be patient for another 6 months. Hopefully you will be able to get the necessary ingredients and bake the cake within that time.

The cake is comprised of private sector taxes, it has been cut into one slice only and given to public sector inefficient employees. The salary raise for private sector employees is also supposed to be bourne by the private sector themselves. They think exports will increase!!!, be lucky if there are any private sector comapnies left. Love the way they state the private sector has agreed to this, no one asked me!!!!!
