Who gave the loan and at what interest. 39,000 Million Rupees for 4,500 families. This looks like the Kolonnawa Bunt with a Concrete wall. Who is trhe master brain behind this.

39.7 billion spent on 4500 families? that's more than 8 million a family. What difference it could have made, if that money was given directly to those families.

Hope he starts building a new cemetery , exclusive for his family and friends as there wont be enough room in places like Kanatte for all these fellows and catchers. He will whack commissions even when going to his death.

People are criticizing , corruptions, 20%commission , Law and order but don't react to the projects like this. The bis man is trying to do something before end of his period.
