FCID Complaint Lodged Against Former President Sirisena

According to the complaint, the funds—reportedly drawn from the President’s Fund in 2019—were allocated for the construction of a conference hall on land belonging to the Eppawala Cooperative Society. Jayawardena claims the expenditure was unauthorized and constitutes a misuse of state resources for purposes unrelated to the official duties of the Presidency.

“This is not merely a matter of accounting discrepancies,” Jayawardena stated. “We believe this represents a clear violation of public trust and misuse of government funds allocated for social welfare and development.”

The FCID has acknowledged receipt of the complaint and is expected to launch a preliminary inquiry into the allegations. If substantiated, the case could prompt further legal scrutiny and potential prosecution under Sri Lanka’s financial and anti-corruption laws.

Neither former President Sirisena nor his representatives have publicly responded to the allegations as of this writing.
