Attending a ceremony at Balangoda to lay the foundation stone to initiate the project ‘Udaa Gammana’ she said that the minister is a role model who doesn’t owe anything to the country.
“I’m a minister, I travel using a government vehicle and we receive a salary from the government. If there is any minister who doesn’t benefited by these, it is only him, I’m honoured to say that. The Minister is a reflection of his father former President Ranasinghe Premadasa” she said.
She reminded that a former Housing and Construction Minister Wimal Weerawansa is now in prison for alleged misuse of government vehicles.
“MP Wimal who preached left and socialist politics had become a millionaire today. His hair gel was imported from the USA. I have never seen such a large office table which was used by him during his tenure in the ministry, much larger than a king size bed,” she said. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)
