Modawansa goes for Burberry Brand Shirt!

With Input from Lankahrald 

There have been many reports of the lavish expenditure of government ministers in the past.

The reports include the spending of over Rs. 100,000 on pairs of shoes and other basic essentials. Most often these purchases have raised doubts among the public on how a public representative could spend so much on a normal consumer item with the monthly pay received for their respective office.

Interestingly, a majority of thee public representatives have also failed to submit their assets declarations or have entered false details in the declaration.

However, the latest extravagance of a governing party member has been reported in the case of governing party leader and Minister Wimal Weerawansa.

The social media has highlighted that the shirt worn by Weerawansa at a political talk show aired on a private televisions channel recently was valued at over Rs. 45,000.

The price of the Burberry brand shirt worn by Weerawansa has been priced at US$ 344, which amounts to over Rs. 45,000.

Be that as it may, Weerawansa who waxes eloquent about Western conspiracies while also ridiculing the attire of common candidate Maithripala Sirisena, has resorted spending lavishly on Western brand names.
