Colombo, November 22 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Harsha de Silva said today that an NPP MP has told him that the Parliament canteen will not be closed but the government will see that no one will abuse the facility.

"I will not reveal the name of this MP as it is not fair," Dr. De Silva told a gathering in Kotte.

He was referring to reports that Parliament canteen is to be closed under the present regime.

Wow, this is the most pressing concern for Harsha? Continuing to enjoy heavily subsidized meal seems to be his first priority! As usual self-interest before the county's interest.

Canteen will be closed but MP's should pay for what they order.

The canteen! Wasn't there anything else you might have deemed more important to discuss with members of the ruling party, Harsha?

Pay for what you eat and drink. That is the normal process for all other citizens in the country. It is fair to keep the restaurant open so that people that work there can eat without taking an excursion to Pelawatta etc.and extend their lunch hour shopping. we do not want MPs, and workers there bringing in their families and kith and kin there to get a subsidized meals either. All that should stop. Pay for what one consumes.
