Tourism Authority To Probe Basil
Jan 25, 2016
The
Sri Lanka Tourism Authority is to investigate allegations that former
Economic Affairs Minister Basil Rajapaksa had authorised Rs. 4.7 million
to be released by the Authority to use for election campaigning by the
United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA). Rajapaksa had issued
instructions to release the money when he was the Minister, in charge of
UPFA election propaganda work during the last Provincial Council
Elections.
The former minister had ordered the funds to be released saying it is for Sri Lanka tourism development in the Uva Province.
When contacted, Tourism and Christian Religious Affairs Minister John
Amaratunga said an investigation had been launched into how the funds
were cleared without following the proper procedures.
