Complaint against AKD lodged with Bribery Commission

August 28- A complaint has been lodged against the Presidential candidate of the National People’s Power (NPP), Anura Kumara Dissanayake, with the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption over the possession of a house.

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.
