MP Jagath Withana says that he does not intend to accept the cab allocated to him under the 2026 budget proposal. Accordingly, he has written a letter to the Speaker requesting that a cab not be imported for him.
He points out that if his request is honored, the government will have to import only 1,774 vehicles. He also points out that if the government decides to import 1,775 cabs, it will be a serious injustice to the country’s taxpayers.
