Newly appointed UNF MP Saman Ratnapriya said on Tuesday that he would accept a duty-free vehicle with the sole objective of working for the people.
Mr Ratnapriya said that he would use such a vehicle solely to work for the betterment of poor people of this country.
At the same time he said there was no point in wasting public funds if one did not fulfil his duty towards the people.
The MP then said people should be provided with essential medicine, food items and other medical equipment to the people.
“The Government is blaming the Opposition for not supporting the amendment brought to the Vote on Account saying that had prevented concessions to the people. There are enough funds to be work for the people if one did not waste funds,” he said.
