No favouritism in allocating decentralised funds to MPs – Prasanna
Chief Government Whip and Minister Prasanna Ranatunga yesterday emphasised in Parliament that the provision of decentralised funding has been made to all Government and Opposition members without any disparity.
He said that the Opposition MPs are making false allegations that they have not received decentralised funding, in order to mislead the people.
The Minister said that during the Aragalaya, the Opposition alleged that the people’s needs were not met by the decentralised funds allocated to MPs. Accordingly, the Government took steps to allocate decentralised funds to planned projects under the approval of the Rural and Regional Development Committees.
He stated this while replying to a question raised by SJB MP Harshana Rajakaruna, who said that the Government has not provided decentralised funds to several members of the Opposition including himself.
