National organiser of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Basil Rajapaksa and his wife duly paid the charges for their use of the gold route on their arrival at the Katunayake airport on November 20, said the party.
In a statement, SLPP general secretary Sagara Kariyawasam said a sum of USD 400 was paid as well as payments made for the tea served to those who welcomed them.
Nothing illegal or unauthorised or no loss to the state or any institution happened and speculations to the contrary are devoid of truth, it added.
