A motorbike for a photocopy from ‘dansala’
MONDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2014
Motorbikes, distributed to government employees and various groups as bribes in exchange for their votes, have been made available to Members of Divisional Councils supporting Mahinda faction say reports. They were able to claim a motorbike with a photocopy of the identity card.
Government employees had to pay an initial advance of Rs.50,000. However, members of Divisional Councils have been given motorbikes without any payment.
Members of the three security forces and police expected motorbikes under the scheme at a discounted price. However, they have not been included in the scheme yet. Even many government employees who have already paid Rs.50,000 advance have not received their motorbikes.
