The complaint was made by a civil society activist, Darshana Thanthrige, who claims that Anura Kumara has been given a house in the Madiwela Housing Scheme while he owns a residential property in Kadawatha.
“According to the due procedure, if an MP is to be given a house from the Madiwela Housing Scheme, he or she should not have a residential property within 25 kilometers of the Parliament. However, the particular house in Kadawatha is located less than 25 kilometers away,” Thanthrige alleged.
As such, he demands a partial inquiry into the matter.
According to the assets declaration issued by the Bribery Commission, the residential property in Ranmuthugala, Kadawatha, has been purchased in his wife’s name.
