President of Sri Lanka, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, alleged that it was disclosed to him, during a discussion with intelligence officers, the manner in which public tax money had previously been spent to fund extremist elements.

He further stated that the incumbent government has established a predictable economy.

 

The President noted that the government has succeeded in increasing state revenue beyond the expected level.
