Anura Kumara Dissanayake: Rajapaksa budget

Abstract

FALSE: There are 4 Rajapaksas who represent the cabinet. There is also a state minister as well. How much of funds have been allocated to that family—to the ministries they represent? The total expenditure is 5,200 billion or 5.2 trillion. However, when 5,200 million (sic) is being spent, 3,470 million (sic) is being spent within one group—within one family. That is 64% of total government expenditure. - Anura Kumara Dissanayake, Newfirst.lk, 20 November 2021
