00:00Three, two, one.
00:15In order to reach the target of treating poverty with efficiency,
00:19new solutions and approaches must be implemented by all parties.
00:24How do we get income?
00:26Where do we collect funds from?
00:28How do we distribute it?
00:30Is it through the available agencies?
00:33How much money is given to the management?
00:36Is it enough for a body that is built to help the poor
00:41to give money to such a high management?
00:45And such a high allowance?
00:47And a first-class trip around the world?
00:50We've talked about that, haven't we?
00:52There was a seminar in Sri Lanka a few years ago.
00:56It was a long time ago, 10-15 years ago.
00:59Among the government agencies,
01:03non-government per se,
01:05but including government companies and civil society.
01:10When we talk about leaks and leaks,
01:13including the body that is supposed to help the poor,
01:18it includes these bodies.
01:21The government and non-government.
01:24Spending, management, allowance.
01:27So, it's an obsession.
01:30Like Parkinson's law.
01:32You ask for a meeting, what's the first agenda?
01:35How's the management department?
01:37Do we need to change the carpet or not?
01:40Do we need to increase the allowance compared to last year?
01:45Because the responsibility is higher,
01:47the funds are higher.
01:48The funds are from the government.
01:53When I saw the KPPA, I was shocked.
01:58So, I hope,
01:59what I'm talking about,
02:00that's why I asked the KSU to edit this text
02:04because I think the view is important.
02:06But I want to spread the view
02:10so that it's a hope for the people to think about this.
02:17Where are we going?
02:19What's our goal?
02:20How much is the total fund?
02:22I think the KSU needs to explain.
02:25The total fund for poverty reduction
02:31is one of the highest in the world.
02:36Of course, it's the highest in Asia.
02:39But is it really effective?
02:42How much is the cut?
02:45How much is the spending for the management?
02:48Can this be avoided?
02:52How do we determine that the help is to liberate them
02:58from poverty?
03:02This is what I think you can talk about.
03:08Why not?
03:10You can.
03:11You can criticize.
03:13As long as you don't rebel.
