Rs. 21.5 million to gratify Namal’s night race eccentricity; soldier paid only Rs. 100 per day for arrangements
(Lanka-e-News-07.Dec.2013, 10.30PM) Carlton super sports club whose chairman is Namal Rajapakse the synthetic lawyer and M.P. had organized the Colombo car and motorbike night race for the second time. This is to be held in Colombo on 16 th and 17 th along the roads in the vicinity of Fort.

The army had been deployed to place sandbags during the nights alongside these roads. Rs. 21 .5 million is being spent for these sandbags and preparing the roads to stage this race, according to reports.

These Fort night races were inaugurated in 2011. In 2012 , special concessions were granted by Rajapakse regime to import super luxury Lamborghini cars free of import tax (with super luxury car race in view) clearly confirming the Rajapakse regime’s maniacal concern towards gratification of the whims and fancies of its eccentric sons , after coming to power on the votes of the suffering people on grandiose promises that they will alleviate the people’s abysmal sufferings . 

This year that special tax concession was withdrawn.

The government spent Rs. 150 million on account of this night race last year. It is noteworthy that soon after these races were concluded , the Lamborghini crazy government raised the price of petrol by Rs. 10/- per liter and burdened the already badagini (starving) people to cover up its night race profligate expenditure .

As in the previous years , this year too the tasks of making the race track, erecting stages , preparing the roads and providing security are all entrusted to the security forces. Towards these tasks , shockingly a soldier is paid a meager Rs. 100 per day only apart from his salary.
