K.D. Lal Kantha stated that although complaints regarding agricultural matters are reaching ministers, district officials and the Agrarian Development Department, the issue is not a lack of Treasury funding but implementation at ground level. He urged farmers to carry out their responsibilities properly and on time.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will conclude briefly.

¶ 02 Complaints come to the Minister, the District officials, and the Director General of the Agrarian Development Department—and to us—because we run the Government; the Treasury has allocated all funds. There is no shortage of money. The problem is at ground level. We ask farmers to perform their part properly and on time. With that request, I conclude my opening remarks.

¶ 03 Thank you very much.
