Yahapalana minister spends Rs.8 million for his B’day bash – VAC
The convener of Voice Against Corruption (VAC) JVP Central Committee Member Wasantha Samarasinghe states a powerful minister in the ‘yahapalana’ government had reportedly spent a sum of Rs 8 million through a corporation under his ministry to celebrate his birthday lavishly.
Mr. Samarasinghe said the chairman of the Corporation is a close ally of the minister concerned and he also charged that the minister had deployed employees of the Corporation to work in the Minister’s house. Mr. Samarasinghe said the employees of the Corporation have been protesting against the Chairman for several months.
The present ‘yahapalana’ government that came to power opposing Mahinda Rajapaksa regime for its frauds, corruption and misuse and waste of public money is continuing the same crimes committed by the ministers of the previous government and VAC would expose all such ministers and take necessary action against them said Mr. Samarasinghe.
