Sri Lanka news updated 24 hours day: The Lanka Academic, a newspaper published by Lanka Academic Network: "A government official said that the country was not against any real experts coming in to the country to do genuine work but, was not pleased about expatriates coming to the island to do jobs when local expertise was available freely. He said �It is also good for experts to come and train local people and then hand over responsibilities to them. We are worried that the money which is due to the country will go back as salaries to these experts and if that is happening its not fair by the country and by the people who donated the money to help the affected people in these countries� There is also a call by many expert Sri Lankans to recruit Sri Lankan experts, others and even Sri Lankan professionals living abroad to ensure that money is retained in the country.
