Interestingly, the complaint against Wickremasinghe was handed over by a group of parliamentarians loyal to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

SLFP MP Manusha Nanayakkara after handing over the complaint said that Wickremasinghe had been a recipient of two government salaries in 2002 while being attached two different government departments.

Nanayakkara has alleged that Wickremasinghe had worked at the Attorney General’s Department while working as a consultant to the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL).

However, the complaint against Chairman of the Bribery Commission, Balapatabendi filed during the previous regime was not subjected to investigation.
