The Campaign for Free and Fair Election (CaFFE) submitted photographs to the Election Commissioner (EC) Mahinda Deshapriya on Sunday, showing how the police department misused public money allocated to them to remove cut-outs.
Executive Director of CaFFE, Ranjith Tennakoon told The Island that most of the big cut-outs in Chilaw, Arachchikattuwa, Anuradhapura, Kadawatha and Ratnapura were being covered haphazardly with paper, pieces of cloths or polythene, instead of removing them completely.
He claimed that they had even informed the Assistant Election Commissioner and Government Agent in Puttalam on Saturday around 10.00 a.m. regarding the matter, but until Monday 12.00 noon nothing had been removed, though they promised verbally to remove them completely within two days.

He said EC had been informed twice by through two letters coupled with pictures, but Deshapriya had not replied their letters until noon and according to their observation nothing had taken place regarding those violations of election laws by the incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa....................
