COLOMBO (News 1st); The Samagi Jana Balawegaya led by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has rejected the proposal of the government to provide MPs with vehicles at taxpayers’ expense.

“We urge the government to ensure that these scarce public funds are utilized to provide vaccines for all Sri Lankans,” said Premadasa on Sunday (13) in a statement.

He said the SJB will never approve of using public resources for the betterment of the lives of politicians, rather such resources should be invested in promoting a prosperous and a developed motherland.
