Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had decided not to allow anybody to hold wedding receptions at Temple Trees in future, UNP sources said yesterday.
This decision comes after the controversy that arose with regards to a report that a sum exceeding rupees two million had been spent by MP Chathura Senaratne to hold a wedding reception at the venue recent.
The sentiments expressed by the UNP MPs at its parliamentary group meeting had prompted Premier Wickremesinghe to take such a drastic decision, these sources revealed.
Temple Trees has served as the official residence of a number of this country's leaders since the late 1940's. At present, it is the official residence of PM Ranil Wickremesinghe. (Yohan Perera)

This decision should have been taken before allowing to have his wedding there.

Temple Trees should never have been used as a Wedding Reception Hall. Aren't these Public Assets. Is this not abuse of a Public Asset ? Whether UNP, SLFP or any other Party same rule applies.

I dont know why people succumbed to false news. This is not Temple trees building mate. This is another the building within the premises where MR was holding non stop dansale to his party lovers

It was after all the adverse comments on the matter the PM's Office announced that it is open to anybody subject to the compliance of the relevant procedures. On payment any citizen can obtain the facility etc. But, now it is an about-turn! Why not honourably admit that it was done as an exceptional case despite it compromised the dignity of the PM's Official Residence and now we realise it was wrong!!! Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa!
