COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (September 3, 2024) — Harini Amarasuriya, a Member of Parliament from the National People’s Power party, has defended the choice of a Prado-type vehicle for presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s campaign activities.
Responding to media inquiries about Dissanayake traveling in the high-end vehicle, Amarasuriya emphasized that the decision was made with his safety in mind. “Ensuring Mr. Dissanayake’s security is paramount as he campaigns for the presidency,” she stated.
Amarasuriya assured the public that the National People’s Power party is committed to maintaining transparency and will cover the costs of the vehicle from party funds, rather than using public resources. She underscored that the party’s priority is to protect Dissanayake during his campaign while avoiding any misuse of public funds.
