This guy, with a dazed look on his face, probably recovering from that Ice shot he had yesterday, is promising LKR 2m for each village.
Now, what can the villagers do with the LKR 2m?. The Grama Sevaka and leader of the Village Council will ‘EAT’ at least LKR 1.5 million of this money.
My Dear Citizens, the current King came to power promising Viyath Maga; where thae has the intellectual capacity of Viyath Maga disappeared?
Chandima W is distributing LKR 2 million to each village. Should go for a psych assessment as too much Ice impedes intelligence and Brain Power.,
Another Rs.20 million wasted without a plan. Typical Sri Lankens.
Mr.President ,
Sir , you have blatantly exposed your lack of political maturity in bringing this proposal for action .We do not have any qualms over your sincerity of purpose but this venture will end up as an obnoxious attempt to fatten the lining of pockets of some politicos and corrupt govt. officials . Some villages do not require that much right now and others require more.. Please think over it again. .
