The SLTB filed a lawsuit in the Colombo Commercial High Court today against the 2015- presidential election committee members of the UPFA, including former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, claiming a sum of Rs. 142 million.

The complainant said the UPFA had hired buses from the SLTB for the January 8th presidential election but had failed to settle the payments after obtaining the services.

The SLTB has named seven UPFA election committee members, including Mr. Rajapaksa, Susil Premajayantha, Anura Priyadarshana Yapa and Gamini Senarath, as respondents. The case had been filed through Somaratne Associates. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

The buses were given without payment by Kumara. Welgama the then minister. He should be charged for criminal misuse of state property .

For People asking "where is good governance", here is proof. Would a government institute dare to complaint against government or Mahinda when Mahinda was the president?

Please get the money back from the looters of state property. Thank you on behalf of the people whose money it was.

Invariably this will be paid indirectly using public money.

What about the day time robbery of the Central Bank? My3 admitted there was a robbery. Listen to his speech. This does mean UPFA has to pay it, if liable.
