The Hon. Rohana Bandara
Rohana Bandara questioned the implementation of the fertilizer subsidy, asking how many farmers had actually received funds in their bank accounts. He argued that allocating or holding funds elsewhere was insufficient, because farmers can purchase fertilizer only once the subsidy money is credited directly to them, and questioned whether Rs. 200 million was adequate to complete the programme.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Even if released, how many farmers have actually received money in hand? Can the fertilizer subsidy be completed with Rs. 200 million? Tell me how many farmers have received money. Do not change the topic. Money must be credited to farmers’ accounts. Even if you have money in your accounts, the farmer cannot buy fertilizer. To buy fertilizer, money must be in the farmer’s account.
