Sri Lankan National Organiser Namal Rajapaksa, a member of parliament for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna party, has called upon President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to investigate corruption allegations against Presidential Secretary Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake. Rajapaksa made this demand during a public meeting in Kuliyapitiya on August 22nd.

The allegations stem from a recent revelation by SLPP lawmaker D.V. Chanaka in Parliament. Chanaka claimed that a container carrying vehicle spare parts, among other items, was improperly cleared by Kumanayake when he was working in the Customs Department. Rajapaksa urged President Dissanayake to take action in response to these allegations.

Rajapaksa pointed out that President Dissanayake has repeatedly spoken about combating corruption and ensuring honesty in the government. He sees this instance as an opportunity for the President to demonstrate his commitment to these values by addressing the allegations against Kumanayake. Rajapaksa stated that the public is eagerly awaiting the President's response regarding the matter.
