WEDNESDAY, 20 JANUARY 2016

Legal action would be taken against the statement made to the media by the Minister of Health Rajitha Senaratna on the 18th states the media spokesman for the GMOA Dr. Navin de Soysa.

Speaking at a media conference held yesterday the spokesman for the GMOA said the Minister of Health had told the media that at a meeting held between the Minister, the Prime Minister and the GMOA the GMOA had told the Prime Minister that GMOA had no objection to the medical school at Malabe but they had only an issue regarding its standard.

The spokesman for GMOA said legal action would be taken against the irresponsible statement of the Minister of Health who is also the co-cabinet spokesman and added that GMOA has not changed its stand of Malabe private medical school.

Minister Rajitha Senaratna, in the past, was one of the persons who was at the forefront in the campaign against Ragama private medical school that was taken over by the government. However, the complete change of his stance regarding the Malabe private medical school could be due to his daughter-in-law studying there state political analysts. At the media conference held by the Minister on the 18th a journalist suggested that he did not oppose SAITM at Malabe as his daughter-in-law was studying there.
