The Cabinet has approved a proposal submitted by the Media and Parliamentary Affairs Ministry to provide an extra vehicle to MPs apart from the vehicle which would be given on permits entitled to them, Minister Gayantha Karunathilake said.

He said the extra vehicle would be given to use for development projects of the Government and that the maintenance expenditure of such vehicles should be borne by the MPs. (Dayasili Liyanage)

Yes you will have to do that , otherwise they will leave yahapalana, now that their renumeration increases too have been withdrawn. By the way why not go through the Oxford dictionary to check the meaning of honorary.

No only their personal development.

Green Light for MP's and Red Light for the public. This is something happening since 1948. The MP's are developing there own and personal bank accounts. Sorry state of affairs.

Why only one? They deserve more for their spouses, children, parents, freinds even pets. We will walk.

At least use electric vehicles instead of further draining the foreign exchange using petrol cars.

All MP's (including 'joint' ones) get it. How transperant can things get. Those days department vehicles were just given to catchers.

Oh! Our MPs deserve even better!!They are a honest, hardworking and patriotic bunch. They should be given two more vehicles with headless security to protect them; they should also be given a few pretty young girls to relieve their stress after a hard(ly) working day.God bless Sri Lanka!!!

I THINK A SINGLE MONTHLY INSTALLMENT IS TWICE AS THEIR MONTHLY SALARIES.

May I suggest a private aircraft as the public roads have a lot of traffic and are in bad shape. Last but not least, a four function calculation with the % button.
