Chamara Sampath Dasanayake questioned the claim that no vehicles had been provided to MPs, citing vehicle PH-1208 being used at coordination committee meetings in Pussellawa, Lunugala and the District Coordination Committee, as well as in Punagala Estate. He said the matter damaged the Government’s image and submitted a photograph as evidence.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 My question is this: If no vehicles were given, why is PH-1208 being used by an MP, seen at Pussellawa and Lunugala coordination committees, and District Coordination Committee meetings, and for hunting in Punagala Estate? If vehicles weren’t given, no answer is needed—but this harms the Government’s image. I submit the photo.
