    Why not give autonomy to Tamil homeland.They could take care of themselves without your dole out minus the kick backs.

    Thindu Valanthan Wednesday, 24 November 2010 10:27 PM

    very true

    SL Wednesday, 24 November 2010 06:37 PM

    Spent to rehabilitate people who were left helpless by Tamil diaspora and LTTE.

    saman Wednesday, 24 November 2010 02:32 PM

    So Whats this siripala upto ? NE get 25% 70% to hambanthota
    5% is salary increase ... easy maths. No wonder our MP's does not require education. and education of country is run by tuition master who use to talk filth in class.

    Saman/South Africa Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:54 AM

    Truth Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:24 AM

    Well said Musthafa. And also don't forget how much you have spend for destruction.

    Powerless Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:23 AM

    What is allocated does not matter. How much will be really spent on the needy project is the question?

    Modawansa Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:22 AM

    You are inteligent..you understood the basics.With people like you being around the country will progress very fast.

    PWC Wednesday, 24 November 2010 11:00 AM

    You are really modawansa. If then, no money for other provinces ??

    Ranjit Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:16 AM

    What is the big deal, N & E is part of SL? Areawise, N&E is more than 25%.

    chris abey Wednesday, 24 November 2010 10:19 AM

    Minister must go back to learning simple Maths then.

    believeit ornot Wednesday, 24 November 2010 09:48 AM

    He is a minister! What do you expect\/

    NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN Wednesday, 24 November 2010 09:26 AM

    What Happened to the Last 30 Years of North and East Development Fund?

    Ryan Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:59 AM

    Minister is talking about capital expenditure, not recurrent expenditure. We need to make Economics a compulsory subject in O/L.
    Anyway N&E should get 50% of CE 25% not enough.

    Modawansa Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:57 AM

    An uneducated politico will not understand this basic.

    Modawansa Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:54 AM

    The balance 75% goes in to the pocket of politico's????

    Modaya Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:45 AM

    Short sighted fellow

    Pissa Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:36 AM

    How much money will allocate to your undergroud friends (who will work on these contracts from south).

    Nath Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:33 AM

    Is he criticizing the budget?

    meda wakka Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:31 AM

    How much allocated to Hambantota and what is population there.

    Hisham Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:29 AM

    Do they get the 2500/= as promised or same as the rest of us?
    Is this a big joke on the people of this country, promising 2500/- across the board and now telling fairy tales why it could not be done?

    Dilip Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:27 AM

    It is all in papers for N& E, the people are suffering for basic needs. There in only Military Bases.

    What is the population in Hambonthota and how come there is a Massive Harbor and another project going on for an International airport,etc...etc....

    Sri Lankan Wednesday, 24 November 2010 08:21 AM

    These communal minded people will never grow, they want problems in the country for their own benefit, just look at him, the picture can say a lot.
