(Lanka-e-News -29.Sep.2016, 6.50PM) There are only 28 % users of smart phones in Sri Lanka (SL) at present, and in the next budget the taxes thereof are to be totally withdrawn in order that that SL will experience a smart phone revolution , said Digital minister Harin Fernando . He is having discussions with the Finance minister in this connection , the minister added.
Addressing a media briefing at Sri Kotha , all data of all the citizens via their fingerprints can be gathered following this digital revolution , the minister pointed out. When that happens , an individual can get down even his passport to his home using the smart phone . After this digital revolution , the country can save a sum of US dollars 2 million per day , the minister went on to assert.
When this is under way , a Cyber security center shall be established , and discussions are under way now with a Microsoft establishment in this connection , minister Harin Fernando elaborated.
Making reference to the unscrupulous ,hollow and shallow politicos who are filling their coffers selling the forces, the minister said , ‘nodhakanin vitharak’ in pure Sinhala. It was during the Rajapakse era legal action was filed against this officer of the forces , and during that period the case was heard 40 times. Though it is only the verdict that has to be delivered now under the present government , but portraying the forces as the hunted is futile , Harin observed.
