Chief Govt Whip and Health Minister Nalinda Jayatissa revealed in Parliament yesterday that 43 Parliamentarians have obtained compensation amounting to Rs.1,224 million from the Government as damages incurred to their residences and properties on May 9, 2022.<\/p>\n

It has also been revealed that some MPs had even pressurized District Secretariats and Divisional Secretariats to inflate assessments of damages caused to their properties, he said.\"\"<\/p>\n

Even in the event of a natural disaster, the maximum compensation that can be paid for victims for complete property damage is only Rs.2.5 million. But this shows how those in power at a time abused their power to exact compensation as they wished,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Although the President\u2019s Fund does not provide financial grants for ear drum damage, one MP who had a such condition had obtained monies from the President\u2019s Fund claiming to be a heart patient. The public has given us the power to change this political culture. And we will definitely change this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
