A group of United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MPs staged a protest inside the Parliament chamber a short while ago against the Bribery Commission’s move to summon former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to record statements over an allegation against him.
The allegation levelled against the former President was that he had bribed a ministerial post to former UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake for his cross over.
MPs Nimal Siripala de Silva, Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, Vasudeva Nanayakkara, Dinesh Gunawardane and Wimal Weerawansa were among those who protested against the Commission’s move.
The Prime Minister however assured that adequate security would be provided to Mr. Rajapaksa and he had been summoned only to a record a statement. (Yohan Perera)
