Those who misused state resources will be brought before the law irrespective of party, President Maithripala Sirisena says.

The President made the observation while addressing the Parliament during the first sitting of the Eighth Parliament this afternoon (1).

He also appealed the newly elected Parliamentarians to join hands to build the new political culture in which it would take the national security as the number one priority.

“As the President, I take national security as the first responsibility of the government.” he said.
