SL Minister says MPs’ privileges to arrive from VIP terminals without inspection must be removed

Date:

Colombo (LNW): Privileges granted to Parliament members to arrive through VIP terminals at the airport without inspection must be removed, Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said, in response to the controversy surrounding MP Ali Sabri Rahim, who was recently caught with a bag of undeclared items.

Condemning the MP using his parliamentary privileges to do as he pleases, Amaraweera said he endorses any motion to abolish Rahim’s position as a member of Parliament.

The Minister made these comments at a meeting in Hambantota recently.
