Mayor of the Kotte Municipal Council, Janaka Ranawaka has distributed a video clip of Kotte Deputy Mayor Madhura Vithanage having sexual intercourse with a beautiful young girl. The President has also received a copy of the video clip.
Parliamentarian Duminda Silva helped Janaka Ranawaka during the last local government election campaign and Madhura Vithanage was given nominations by Minister Dullas Alahapperuma and his propaganda campaign was handled by well known racketeer Dilith Jayaweera.
The two members openly attacked each other during the election campaign. However, Ranawaka became the Mayor after receiving over 15,000 preferential votes and Vithanage became the Deputy Mayor after polling close to 7,500 votes.
Even after being appointed to the Council the two individuals continued to clash openly.
Soon after the Mayor had released a blue film of the Deputy Mayor, the Deputy Mayor had issued a statement revealing the corruption of the Mayor.
The Deputy Mayor is also making arrangements to lodge a complaint about the alleged frauds and corruption committed by the Mayor, to the Bribery Commission.
A senior government minister said that development in many local government areas under UPFA control has come to a standstill since the governing party members in the respective local government bodies are divided into various groups.
He said that such clashed threatened the government and that remedial action to resolve these crises has to be taken soon.
