The Chairman of
the Kelaniya Pradeshiya Sabha along with 12 other Pradeshiya Sabha members have
decided to take a stand against Public Relations and Public Affairs Minister
Mervyn Silva.
PS Chairman
Prasanna Ranaweera, Deputy Chairman Chaminda Duminda and PS members Lanka
Vijitha Kumara, Hasitha Kelum Madawala and Milroy Perera challenged the
Minister today (January 5) at a press conference held at the Pradeshiya Sabha.
The Chairman stated
that he had credible documents that proved that Minister Silva and his
loyalists were involved in extortion, corruption and financial mismanagement in
the Kelaniya and Kiribathgoda towns.
He added that Minister
Silva would be responsible for any attack on him or the PS members who have
stood up against the Minister while alleging that there was an attempt since yesterday
to plant drugs in the Chairman’s house in order to take him into custody.
Mr. Vijitha
Kumara further added that he is ready to debate against anyone on the corrupt
deeds of the Minister and his followers.
