JVP wants MPs' pension scrapped
Calling on parliamentarians to act in an exemplary manner and not to take unwarranted benefits at a time the people are struggling, the JVP has proposed that the pensions given to MPs be scrapped.

A party spokesman said this was one of the JVP proposals handed over to Finance Minister Sarath Amunugama for consideration in next month's budget. At present, an MP who serves for at least five years is entitled to a pension.
