People who have no idea of international affairs, wont know this. Only 4% of the total pledged funds reached sri Lanka. Just because USA pledged 50 billion that doesnt mean it all came? It could be paid out in instalments, or it will take its own sweet time. May not come at all, a pledge is a promise to donate. Much of the money were ‘pledges’.

There was an open accusation by opposition that all the money allocated for Hambantota was transferred from banks to the private account of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. A court order filled by JVP activist in Srilanka high court prevented money allocated for northern and eastern coast developments. Still many coastal villagers in north and east who were affected by 2004 December Tsunami are living in temporary shelters. Former President Mrs Chandrika Kumaratunga who was accused by Srilankan high court of corrupt land transactions, should answer to this Tsunami expenditures. All her foreign bank transaction should be investigated, as she is now living in UK. Most of the money were misused and failed to reach the affected in many parts of the Srilankan sea coasts.
