December 19, 2013 03:07 pm

If the sports sector has recorded losses of US $3 million according to Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, an investigation needs to be conducted in order to reveal whose pockets that money was put into, UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake stated.

MP Karunanayake said that Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage had revealed a US $3 million loss in the sports sector while also revealing an even greater amount of corruption.

If UNP MP Sajith Premadasa does not join the Leadership Council, unlike President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s cabinet the UNP will not appoint other members in his place, Karunanayake stated.

He said it was important to strive to secure victory for the party before living in dream worlds.

Speaking at a press conference held today (December 19) in Colombo, the MP stated that if Sajith joins hands with him they could make a change in the party.
