No confidence motion against Hisbullah in EPC

A no confidence motion is to  be moved against Easter Provincial Health Minister MLAM.Hisbullah by the opposition parties in the EP Council. Notice to this motion has been given by leader of the Opposition and SLMC Chairman Basheer Segu Dawood. It is stated in the motion that Minister Hisbullah has failed and neglected to give permanency to the casual senior employees working in the health sector of the province and instead has taken steps to recruit more casual employees at his whims and fancies.

The motion adds further that the minister has abused his power as minister of health and other portfolios and thereby has breached the trust placed on him by the public and therefore to remove him from the portfolio and from the board of ministers of the eastern Province Provincial Council.

However, the ruling UPFA sources said that this motion is politically motivated and has no basis or foundation. The motion will be defeated by the ruling UPFA, the sources added further. Minister Hisbullah has been in the centre of contraversy recently for many reasons. Sunday Leader weekly in its last week edition carried his alleged financial transaction in one of the now collapsed Ceylinco subsidiaries. Mr. Hisbullah has denied this.
