The Ministry of Urban Development, Construction, and Housing has provided clarification on reports claiming that Polonnaruwa District MP and Deputy Minister of Housing T. B Sarath participated in a ceremony to open a toilet.
Issuing a statement, the Ministry pointed out that a local newspaper had also reported the same today (25 Mar), quoting opposition MP Dayasiri Jayasekera.
Providing a clarification, the Housing Ministry said that the reports on social media were false and that the incident had occurred 05 years ago.
“Together with some youth activists in the area, T. B Sarath had helped build a toilet for an economically affected family. No ceremony had been held in this instance, as it was done as charity. This incident had taken place before he was appointed as Deputy Minister,” the statement said. (Newswire)
