The founder of the National Namal Garden Reverend Vanusi Rahula Thera says that the government should immediately put a seal on the pin stones of all the temples and shrines across the country.
He emphasized that the Auditor General and the Department of Buddhist Affairs should conduct a transparent audit of the aid received by the temples and shrines.
He said that it is a crime to use the money given to temples and shrine not by the leaders of the them, but by the drivers, women and other parties.
Last week, the Department of Buddhist Affairs sealed the Nawagamuwa Pattini Temple’s till box saying that the money received for the till box and the gold ornaments offered to the temple will be missused.
