The Union has requested President Maithripala Sirisena and the newly appointed minister of Samurdhi and Housing, Sajith Premadasa to hold an inquiry against a group of Samurdhi officials including the former Samurdhi Director General who have been accused of several misdeeds including the misuse of the Samurdhi Authority bank account during the Presidential election period.

A request has further been made to the authorities to commence the investigation before the culprits could hide the relevant documents regarding these misdeeds.

The All Ceylon United Samurdhi Development Officers Union made this request during a media briefing held in Kurunegala yesterday (14).
