Corrupt persons should not be re-elected to Parliament

The Convener of the National Movement for a Just Society, Venerable Maduluwawe Sobitha Thero noted that the people need to take steps to ensure that corrupt persons are not re-elected to Parliament. He added that there is no need to make individuals victorious, but instead it must be ensured that policies are victorious to cleanse the country – and there is a need for clean politics. He further noted that persons who are not worth should not be elected, to Parliament as it is the people who have to pay their wages and provide the facilities. And in addition to that, after five years as an MP, they have to be given a pension too. He further stated that it is sad to see some when they retire as they wasted public money and never spoke a word on behalf of people in Parliament.
