United National Party Parliamentarian Sajith Premadasa levelled allegations at the government saying that the people’s needs are not met.

The MP made this allegation at an event held in Walasmulla on Tuesday morning. The event was organised to present concessionary loans to 180 women from low income families in the Ambagahahena area in Walasmulla. Speaking at the event, Sajith Premadasa said: “This government has not identified the priorities in the country. They have got it completely wrong.”

“This government does not understand that constructing a six billion rupee luxury apartment complex for MPs is not the way to fulfill the needs of the country and fulfill the needs and wishes of the people. Today, there is no permanent solution for the wishes, the needs and problems of the people.”
