I was not allowed to work freely: Vijith Vijayamuni

28 May 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

UPFA MP Vijith Wijayamuni Zoysa said yesterday that he was not allowed to work freely in the Wildlife Ministry as its subject minister, and that everything was done by former minister Basil Rajapaksa.

“I was not allowed to work in the wildlife ministry as I wanted. But I was blamed when a farmer or an elephant calf died. The main road in Bibile was not carpeted in order to spite me,” he said.

It was a pity that racketeers who carried out massive illegal land grabs got away scot free but poor farmers who committed minor offences were punished,” he said, at a meeting held at the Thanamalvila divisional secretariat recently. (Sujeewa Jayawickrama)
