Among these officials are senior secretaries of several ministries.

During the regime of Mahinda Rajapaksa, these officials had been given their postings by the then chief of staff of the president Gamini Senarath.

On a tip off received that these officials have been leaking sensitive state information, state intelligence has noted the suspicious conduct of some of them.

These Rajapaksa loyalists are using the summoning of public officials to the FCID as a front to sabotage government activities.

They are delaying, or avoiding, the giving of approval of projects.
