MP Wijedasa Rajapaksa has attended today's parliamentary sittings in spite of the UPFA's decision to boycott today's session.

Meanwhile, UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake, while presenting the motion to slash funds for the Prime Minister's office said that the Prime Minister's office has spent Rs 800 million so far for helicopter rides.
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to vacate his official residence at Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo this morning, a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) source said.
