UPFA to probe budget setbacks in councils
By Aanya Wipulasena
View(s): A UPFA committee overlooking local councils will probe the recent defeats of budgets in six local councils controlled by the alliance, Minister C.B. Ratnayake, a member of the committee, said. He said the defeat of the budgets pointed to a power struggle among councillors for the chairman’s post with some members putting their personal interest before the party interest.
Mr. Ratnayake said all UPFA councillors had been clearly told that they should not vote against the budget on personal agendas.
He said the committee would start the probe tomorrow.
