Does he realize who is paying for this .. it's all public money. No wonder there is no development in the country. All the money is spent on the upkeep of politicians and their families and pensions.

Who’s Paying For These Security Measures Friday, 31 October 2025 06:47 PM

SP should also indicate Who’s paying for these security measures? Those who take up politics know the real deal and should employ their own security personnel depending on their links and status. The party they represent can also hire security officers on a large scale too for their political candidates to lower the cost.

Not our money for the security of opposition MPs Friday, 31 October 2025 09:20 PM

You are spot on. Let SP-Sajabe pay for the security of their own guys who wants security. Similarly Pohuttuwa and other parties. Our tax money dingle cent must not be wasted on these guys security. Not our money at all.

How that going to work. Not sure we have enough police to do that. How about giving security to people who needs it and let police to tackle the root cause. Previously politicians got protection we got nothing. So less tackle the root of this violence so everyone can stay safe.

My dear SP and the rest of the politicians, if you lot are so scared please leave politics. The public cannot pay for your fears, get your own security.

Yes Rohan spot on. If these guys who wants to contest are so scared, then why not get who are more qualified and have nothing to fear.

Maybe SJB and Opposition should screen it's candidates better to make sure they don't have underworld connections or are thugs themselves BEFORE appointing them ?? It will save a lot of money in the long run

To voters- stop electing thugs into power. Next time, consider voting for the candidate's character and make sure they have a real job (career politics and business don't count).

Sajith appoints criminals and expects the tax payer to pay for their protection. This person is talking about being a president.

If the police force is mobilized to provide this wide array of politicians , then it would be at the expense of maintaining law and order in the greater community .The task of the police in any given country .What is the thinking behind this leader ? Whom do these politicians fear that the ordinary citizens have to contend with ?

OMG, who is going to pay for them. It is better to get rid of the local governments instead. The country can not afford. There are many orphanages and elderly care homes without the basics. Sajith has no vision for the country. Glad that he never will lead this country.

Those who cannot take care of themselves please give up politics. In the 1950s, 1960s

Either ppl should talk sense or retire from politics without wasting taxpayer’s money.. if the politicians are not involved in anything illegal or trying to fill there own pockets and they genuinely want to serve the ppl , you won’t need police security.. god willing ppl will protect you

Vert good suggestion. Recover the actual expenses of the security cost, inclusive of overhead charges, from the individuals.

we general public do not want to pay for the security for underworld gang members and rogues in your party. First clear them and then talk. You all seem to spend only for biriyani and arrack (to get few blind fellows to march with you) but not for the security. Why should be pay for you??
