A powerful government minister has taken steps to provide between 50 and 100 cement bags to the less developed temples in Korala Hatha in Kurunegala.
The Consumer Affairs Authority raided a stock of expired cement bags a few months back and the raid was provided wide media publicity.
This stock of expired cement bags are now in 100 temples in Kurunegala District.
There are now doubts over the strength and durability of the structures that would be put up using this cement stock.
There are now doubts over the strength and durability of the structures that would be put up using this cement stock.
It would finally be the innocent devotees who would have to pay the price.
The main of distributing this expired stock of cement among the temples is to get the support of the chief incumbents of these temples during the North Western Provincial Council elections.
The relevant minister and his secretary are now in the process of making telephone calls to the temples in Kurunegala asking the chief incumbents to support the candidature of the minister’s son who is contesting at the forthcoming election.
However, the chief priests of the temples have said that they would not have even accepted a glass of water from this Minister if they had known the outcome of the donation. These monks now refer to this minister as the Cement Minister.

Working Director of the National Savings Bank (NSB), Sumanadasa Thilak Abeygunawardena has reportedly committed a fraud where his fuel allowance is concerned.
The NSB has provided a brand new luxury Hyundai vehicle bearing number KV 0385 for his use. He was appointed to the position without any qualifications merely because he read horoscopes and conducted various religious rituals.
Thilak Abeygunawardena has taken over Rs. 100,000 on a monthly basis for this vehicle by providing fake fuel bills to the bank. It is therefore reported that Sumanadasa Thilak Abeygunawardena had taken over Rs. 50 lakhs from the NSB in this irregular manner. Sources from the bank say that Kendara Sumane (Horoscope Sumane) is now seeking political help instead of divine help to get out of the mess he has created for himself.
