Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody has lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over allegations circulating on social media, claiming he lacks academic qualifications and is posing as a fake professional.
Speaking to the media after filing the complaint, Minister Jayakody said, “An organised attempt to insult members of the government is currently underway,” he said.
The Minister said that his party has taken a firm stance against what he described as a campaign of misinformation. “We have decided as a party that we should expose the lies of these politicians,” he said.
Highlighting broader concerns, Minister Jayakody said that details of some 30 government members in the Parliamentary database appear to contain inaccurate information, including erroneous credentials. (NewsWire)
