Keheliya abuses state property for election work, claims dissident SLPP MP
View(s):By Shane Seneviratne
SLPP dissident and parliamentarian Wasantha Yapa Bandara yesterday complained to the Kandy District Assistant Elections Commissioner that Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella was misusing state property for election campaign activities.
In his written complaint, Mr. Bandara, who is the Kandy district leader of the newly formed Freedom People’s Alliance (Helicopter), said Minister Rambukwella was making use of ‘Malabar house’, his official residence, for election propaganda activities.
He claimed that the minister had a meeting with local council heads, and all of them utilised government vehicles to travel to the meeting venue.
The residence was given to the minister after his private residence located at Bahirawakanda was set on fire during the ‘Aragalaya campaign’ last year.
Mr Bandara told the media that if government property was being used for the election campaign, it was illegal.
