Colombo (LNW): Government’s Printer Ganga Liyanage said the ballot papers can be printed only in the event of the issuance of money.

Calling in a special briefing, the head of the Government Press emphasised that she did not request the full amount required for the printing process, but only an advance of Rs. 200 million from the Election Commission.

Stressing that she is not afraid of anyone, Mrs. Liyanage noted that due to a circular issued by the Ministry of Finance she was stuck on both sides, but has acted within legitimate boundaries in her duties.
