Colombo, October 03 (Daily Mirror) - The appointment of a committee by incumbent President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to look into MPs’ perks is a useless exercise, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) former MP Mujibur Rahman said today.

"There is no need to appoint a committee to look into the perks enjoyed by MPs. It is also a wastage of funds. The President can get all the information on MPs’ perks from the Secretary General of Parliament," Rahman said.

Very true. This guy is following Ranil by appointing committees to run away from responsibilities. As he promised to do within 48 hours, he can do many things using existing laws of Sri Lanka. Namal is already challenging him.

Useless exercise for sure. Because MPs don't deserve the benefits. Don't your agree

This guy doesn't know the purpose of that committee, but enjoying the sound of gis own noise. It isn't to learn about what perks you have -- it is to see whether the perks are necessary for you to do the job, and if the perks are used in service of the people you've been elected by.
