CMC rejects ‘VIP’ vaccinations charges

  • Claims Muruththettuwe Ananda Thera has personal vendetta

By Dinitha Rathnayake   The Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) has rejected the allegation levelled against it by Abhayarama Temple Chief Incumbent Ven. Muruththettuwe Ananda Thera that very important persons (VIPs) were being prioritised in the vaccination drive. CMC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ruwan Wijayamuni rejected all such allegations against the CMC, appearing to suggest that Ven. Ananda Thera has a “personal vendetta”. “Ananda Thera requested 150 Oxford-AstraZeneca Covishield vaccines from me for the people he knows, but I refused to provide it. This is the main reason why he attacks the CMC, myself, and the other doctors who work for the CMC,” Dr. Wijayamuni said. Addressing a press conference, the Thera claimed that the CMC is conducting the vaccination process in an ad hoc manner, particularly giving priority for the vaccination of VIPs. According to Dr. Wijayamuni, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had advised to administer 20,000 vaccines per day in the Colombo District. “We have administered the first dose to 109,833 within 20 days. This is an achievement,” he added. The percentage of patients reported from the city of Colombo is around 4%. “When the second wave emerged, it spread like wildfire in some areas in mid-October last year. Thanks to the vaccination, we still do not see such a rapid spread in the city of Colombo at present,” he noted.
