The local government
sector has been disgraced while the President and the party have been shamed by
the indecent behavior of the chairmen and members of local government bodies,
SLFP General Secretary and Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena stated.
Speaking at an event
in Polonnaruwa today (July 17) he said that local government politicians had
been involved in murders, rapes, robberies and bribery which had in turn
brought shame to the government.
The Minister
explained that he was unable to participate in any meetings or media
discussions because of this situation and that at times he did not have the
answers to the questions that he was asked at these events.
He added that these
local government politicians will not be allowed to carry on this indecent behavior
as stringent action will be taken against them.
