Mr. Sajith Premadasa, the leader of the opposition, stated in Parliament today that when 10 billion rupees are set aside for the election in the 2023 budget, it is the government’s responsibility to give the allocated money to the Election Commission and implement the election, and that using one day’s government expenditure for the election is not a waste of money.
Not giving this money is a violation of privilege, and the Supreme Court has even issued an order for it. Furthermore, why is the money not given when the printing press is ready to print election papers as soon as it is given? The Prime Minister will be questioned, according to the opposition leader.
