Range Bandara challenges Moragoda to disclose info on Pathfinders
UNP MP Palitha Range Bandara challenged UPFA Colombo Mayoral Candidate Milinda Moragoda to reveal information about his Pathfinders organization.
He challenged Moragoda to reveal who the directors of the organization were, what their salary structures were, which country was funding the organization and what those funds were being utilized for.
Speaking at a press conference in Colombo today (September 21), MP Bandara claimed that the organization had done nothing to serve the public while questioning the service Moragoda has rendered to the people of Colombo despite serving as a member of parliament, a Cabinet Minister and a Presidential Advisor between the years of 2001 and 2011.
He also stated that when homes were being destroyed, residents were being taken out of Colombo, floods plagues the city and the dengue crisis was at its peak, Moragoda did little to raise his voice.
Bandara added that Moragoda, who is talking about Colombo so ardently at the moment, is forgetting that it was a Commissioner appointed by the government he is representing that was controlling the Colombo city limits earlier.

well said wimale, you are correct. This guy did not do anything and will not do anything. He will use all marketing gimiks since he is an expert in these.(like he came without posters in 2002)
The United National Party is heading for the biggest defeat it ever had in its 65 years of existence.
The UNP has zero to offer voters of the Colombo municipality.
The Medamulana regime has its own agenda for the city of Colombo. The Mayor of Colombo is a nobody in the power equation.
Whether voters like it or not, the City is being beautified and organised so that land values climb further and further.
When the City is organised and beautiful, the land values in Colombo will rise. The commissions earned from sale of Government land to overseas entrepreneurs will also rise.
Mr Ranga Bandara and his colleagues’ voices will dissapear in the wilderness. Mr Banadara will be better of crossing over to the Medamulana Government and pick the morsels that fall off the Emperor’s table.
