Seems like the whole world is giving donations to Sri Lanka in various forms but the sufferings of the people are rising by the day. Where do these donations go?

Pls do not give cash to this corrupted Government. Implement programs with the highest level of monitoring and demand accountability from the partner institution. Do not allow politician to get involved at all. Establish a fair mechanism for the beneficiary selection process.

If these Countries really love Sri lankans they should pressurize these crooks to hold a free and fair election immediately.So a People's govt could bring back the Billions of Dollars stashed away in tax havens world over by MARA and Co.and also Punish the Culprits who gotten away with the CB Bank Bond Scam etc.We don't need their Tax Payers money afterall wonder how much of this 6 million dollars will tickle down to the people who really needed it.

Our governments have always been corrupt but we tolerated it because our greatest fear that our minority fellow citizens will have the same rights as us and our governments were assuring us they wouldn’t allow it to happen. Now we are irrevocably universally impoverished and reached universal beggar status due to our own tolerance of inequities we are blaming governments we put in power
