Some governors spend millions of rupees sans any laws, circulars: Vijitha

Parliament, July 10 (Daily Mirror)- Claiming that governors in some provinces were spending colossal amounts of money for various things such as vehicles, Vesak and Poson zones without adhering to any circulars or laws, NPP MP Vijitha Herath said such arbitrary actions must be stopped immediately.

The MP told Parliament that governors in certain provinces have appointed advisors using their arbitrary powers.

Governors in the Western Province take decisions without considering any circular or law at the final phase of the government.

"Millions of rupees are spent for various things without any mechanism. Huge amount of money has been spent for vehicles, Vesak and poson zones. Such acts must be stopped immediately. Otherwise, they will have to be answerable to this House," he said.
