Basically indoctrinate them from a young age so income for next few generations will be secured.

He's a self-appointed pastor!! He's a thief and a rogue and a disgrace to Christianity! Why is he allowed to build a rehabilitation centre in the first place?? Did he not flee the country once? Why can't authorities look into these things? Why wait until it's too late?

All these preachers and self proclaimed prophets convince the gullible by the gift of the gab.

That's sad. In the end the poor children suffer because of insecure adults. All religions preach about doing good deeds. So I don't know what the devil is the matter with these people protesting.

If this is a private property and the council has approved the construction, what legal right the villagers have to enter into the property? What has police done about it?

Seeing as AKD is committed to righting the wrongs of the previous regimes and those who apparently "destroyed" the country for 76 years, here's an easy one for him. Jerome is a self-proclaimed ego maniac whose source of wealth and his dubious connections, especially to the previous regime, need to be investigated, please!

Sri Lankans must learn to help themselves, don't ask for loans, aid, grants etc at the first opportunity, they all come with strings. A lot of this activity will stop when you stop the money trail. It also means living within your means as a country, sharing, a better community spirit. God, in whatever form or faith, is for everyone.

If it’s a rehabilitation centre for children, then let’s hope the people appreciate it We are quick to criticise but slow to anything to help others, there are a lot of children in need. The government should check on it as our opinions defer. Without proof I will not judge him.

A question to the public, is it good to have a rehabilitation centre for children or not. All these critics Big Talkers do nothing for the upliftment of the downtrodden public of this country but are first to criticize any good project for the benefit of the public and have preconceived ideas adducing different reasons to stymie the benefits that will accrue to the children of this country. Go to Nuwara Eliya etc. places to ascertain the many projects for the adults and children which have been initiated by Christian missionaries. When the missionaries sometime ago wanted to establish places of learning in the South they totally rejected and this benefitted the North and the people were equipped with the English Language whereas the public of the South missed out. Knowing their folly now their children are sent to International Schools. Without proof critics with warped minds talk some rubbish!!!!!!!!
