Digital revolution soon ! Taxes on Smart phones to be withdrawn – 2 million dollars saving per day –Harin (video)

(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 28 % users of smart phones in Sri Lanka (SL) at present, and in the next budget the taxes thereof are to be totally withdrawn in order that  that  SL will  experience a smart phone revolution , said Digital minister Harin Fernando .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.
