Only 11 ministries will enjoy nearly 80% of the resources of the government budget. So, I don’t need to explain in details that the rest of the ministries will have hardly anything to spend.
LBO reported:
Forty four ministries, or 80 percent, will have annual budgets lower than 9.25 billion rupees which is one percent of proposed spending. “For name sake there are ministries and deputy ministries created for giving power to various coalition partners”, says Sarvananthan, referring to the nine party coalition led by the President Mahinda Rajapakse's Sri Lanka Freedom Party.This is not good for any government.The Public Estate Management and Development Ministry is the poorest with its miserly 79 million rupee allocation or 0.0085 percent of next year's spending.
