MONEY TALKS FOR THE NGOs

Courtesy of  Daily News

GOVTs FUND NGO GRAVY TRAIN -Three NGOs get Rs. 618.33 m. Donors gave Rs. 618.33 million to three NGOs – Centre for Policy Alternatives received Rs. 277 million, National Peace Council received Rs.171 million while Transparency International received Rs.174 million. Unquote”.

Where have these funds gone other than enhancing their personal lavish life styles and anti-Government propaganda. Presumably they would have been spending some of these funds to buy some local media too to propagate their hidden agenda. No wonder that the heads of these three organizations have been spreading anti- Government and anti-Sinhala Buddhist Stanza instead of constructive criticism of the governments. No wonder they can afford to have cocktail parties in plush hotels every other day. If you go to the plush Restaurants and five star hotel Restaurants, you will observe at least 50 % of the diners are top heads of NGOs. No wonder the axiom MONEY TALKS.

We have not forgotten how CPA, NPC and TI have been molly codling, appeasing and white washing LTTE terrorist out fit over the years. They still continue to do so even today by teaming up with  LTTE supportive international Tamil Diaspora and bring false allegations against the present government at every turn. The agenda of these NGOs and many other NGOs is to destabilize and carry out regime change in  Sri Lanka  so that an Anglo-Saxon supported regime can be brought in. The previous governments and the present Government have been naïve for not strictly monitoring these NGOs activities and its funds given by foreign Governments and their nefarious Agencies.

It’s time that the Sri Lanka Tax office gone deep into the operations of these organizations including some other NGOs to verify whether they come under the categories of non-taxable entities. The Tax Office should also verify the personal tax files of the top hierarchy of the NGOs to ascertain whether  they are tax payers or not.  It is learnt that  the Government has decided to bring more stringent laws to monitor the NGO sector and it’s vital that Government should not leave any loopholes  to enable them to seep through the law.
