Video footage has been shared on the controversial lunch supplied by Parliament for MPs during Parliament sittings.
The video footage shared by Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP Dr. Harsha de Silva shows the buffet style lunch with two types of rice and over 06 other dishes.
Newly elected MPs had recently raised objection to a statement made by a Parliament official claiming that the meal was provided at a cost of Rs.3000 per person.
However, Speaker of the House Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena today informed Parliament that the cost of a meal provided in Parliament for MPs has been estimated at Rs. 296 per person. (Newswire)
So t Speaker of #SriLanka @ParliamentLK today mentioned that t much talked about lunch at the House actually cost on average LKR 296 as opposed to LKR 3,000 as earlier ‘exposed’ by a senior staffer. This is what the cafeteria offered us for lunch today! pic.twitter.com/O3xbqVsBC8
