We, “People's Fonseka2010” campaign team, believe that the government should take a serious look at land redistribution to better promote equality in the country.
From the 50s onwards there were many land redistribution schemes designed to give native land to native people so that they can live in prosperity.
Many thousand families were settled in prime farmland and around coastal areas to make living from farming a fishing.
The assent of terrorism, however, put an end to all the efforts to give land and livelihood to people in poverty.
Now that terrorism has been defeated, it is the responsibility of the government re-start land redistribution programmes.
The Wanni should be first. There are only 300, 000 Tamil speaking Sri Lankans who will return to the region. As we know, they can all live in a single town. Perhaps even in Kilinochiya.
That leaves many hundred square kilo meters of land to waste when there are many landless families in the South.
We believe that by electing General Sarath Fonseka to be president we can help redistribute land to poor families, especially those of valiant soldiers who gave their lives to the unity and integrity of the motherland.

And how do you propose that those people earn an income?
Most people were relied on farming or fishing for their livlihoods, how are they meant to survuve if their land is taken away from them?
