Director General of the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, Chandrapala Liyanage has set up a welfare association for provincial journalists claiming it was in support of the next Presidential election. About 300 persons had attended the event that was held at SIDA.

The main aim of the association that has been set up targeting the next Presidential election is to publicize the government’s development projects and to sling mud at opposition activists.

The office bearers of this association have been named according to Chandrapala Liyanage’s recommendations. He had named Saliya from Kegalle as the President of the association.

This person named Saliya is wanted by the police in connection to the rape of a woman. Members of the association say that this person was appointed as the President by Chandrapala knowing very well of the accusation against him.
