The Rajapakse govt prints money to pay to the army to carry guns and terrorise Tamil civilians.
War and not Peace, the solution? (6/11/2007 2:43:23 AM)
The soldiers to be recruited would be 50,000 and their monthly salary Rs27,000. That would mean an annual slary of Rs324,000 per soldier and an annual budget of Rs162 million for one year. Where is the money for it? Is the government going to print money and cause inflation? Then our currency would be like tiolet paper, having no value.
By the way why are soldiers given such big money? Is it because most of the soldiers serving now are running away? The citizens should know the truth.
