The public can now use a new website to follow government spending and check progress on Budget promises. The Opposition brought the platform, oversight.lk, on November 11. Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa directed the initiative ahead of the 2027 Budget presentation.
The website covers the government’s progress on earlier Budget proposals. It also includes information on proposals in the 2027 Budget.
The platform aims to help taxpayers understand how the government manages public money.

What Can the Public Track?
Visitors can check the progress of Budget proposals and compare the performance of different ministries. They can also review audit findings on state institutions.
In addition, the website provides information on government revenue and spending. This gives the public another way to examine how the government collects and uses public funds.
The information may also help business owners, investors and financial analysts follow government spending and economic policy.
Questions Over Previous Budget Spending
The website follows questions Premadasa raised in Parliament on October 22. He asked the government to explain progress under the 2026 Budget.
He also requested details on ministry spending, project progress and money that ministries had not used.
Meanwhile, the government presented the 2027 Budget on November 12. The focus will now shift to how ministries carry out its proposals.
The new website gives the public another way to follow that work. However, readers should consider the platform’s figures and assessments as information published by the Opposition, rather than independently verified findings.
