He claims that he used his money to purchase the food and cash presents that he gave out during the previous Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
“No one has given me money or rice to distribute as consolation to our constituents while I talk to you. It was a fabricated story designed to damage our reputation.
“Let the contractor bring the invoice for each Senator if it is true,” he remarked.
The senator emphasised that the reports are untrue and urged the people disseminating the “news” to provide the supporting documentation.
