Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The opposition leader said that the local government bodies of the bankrupt country are going to appoint community advisory committees for the local government areas at the division level and the reason for this is to target elections and politicize. (Sri Lanka Latest News)

Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa said that 341 local government areas will be allocated one crore rupees each and 3410 million rupees will be spent for this.

Opposition leader Mr. Sajith Premadasa further said this during the 173rd phase of the Sakwala Suhuru classrooms program, where a 10 lakh rupees worth of Suhuru classroom was provided to the new model school at Kesbewa Makuluduwa, Colombo today. He also donated one lakh rupees to the School Development Society for getting clothes for the school’s dance teams.

While this money can be used to prepare 3100 comfortable classrooms and 3100 schools can be given comfortable classrooms, the debt of the bankrupt country is $B. The opposition leader said that such a waste of money is being done at a time when it has reached 100.

The opposition leader said that no matter who approves, this money will be returned to education in a Samagi Jana Balawega government and cautioned that no government official should interfere in these matters.

Also, the opposition leader said that these committees are led by their followers through the governors and this is a national crime and the Samagi Jana Balawega is against this and will take every step that is legally taken in and outside the parliament.

This government also transfers the dollars received from foreigners abroad

Also, there has been a change in the system of giving visas to foreigners coming to our country and the cost of 1 dollar has been paid to three foreign agencies called VRS to give visas worth 18.50 dollars, and even though they say that hundreds of thousands of foreigners are coming, the government has arranged to give millions of dollars abroad for visas from those foreigners. The opposition leader said that if 25 lakh foreigners come, they will have to pay 46 million dollars annually.

The opposition leader said that 12,200 friendly classrooms can be prepared with this money and that this is a short-sighted decision and a stupid and inefficient action.

I know how to earn money to work

The opposition leader said that those who ask where is the money to work in a bankrupt country are braggarts who can’t work and even his own father did not perform such a service and that the proposals he is making are implemented with the government’s money and not with foreign aid grants.

Cardboard socialists are opposed to the modernization of education

The opposition leader said that it is the extreme socialist communists who oppose the modernization of education and their children study in private sciences.

Mr. Sajith Premadasa, the opposition leader, said here that education cannot be improved only by allocating more money to education and therefore, do not be deceived and if you are deceived once, you will have to suffer more.

Under the breath program implemented by the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, medicines and hospital equipment worth 1766 lakh rupees have been given to 57 hospitals, and 87 buses worth 50 lakh rupees have been given to 87 schools under the Sakwala bus program, for which 4242 lakh rupees have been given to Sakwala. 173 schools have been provided with comfortable classroom equipment under the IT program and 1902 lakh rupees have been spent for it.
