All Members of Parliament (MP’s) who occupy official residence at Mawidwela have been told to vacate the premises within the next four weeks as they are no longer MP’s, Deputy Secretary General of Parliament W.B.D Dassanayake told Daily Mirror online.
The MP’s have also been instructed to pay any electricity and water bills that have been billed after Parliament was dissolved and to transfer existing telephone lines to their personal address as they are now ordinary citizens.
Earlier this week, the security provided to all MP’s were withdrawn on the instructions of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mahinda Balasuriya under the same pretext.
