Ex President Maithripala Sirisena appears before CID today

According to sources, the investigation centers on the legality and appropriateness of financial allocations made during Sirisena’s tenure as President. The CID is examining whether these funds were used in compliance with the intended guidelines of the President’s Fund.

This development follows growing scrutiny over the use of public resources and increasing calls for transparency in the disbursement of state funds.

President Sirisena, who served as President from 2015 to 2019, has not made a public statement regarding the matter yet. CID officials are expected to continue recording his statement throughout the day.
