The charges relate to the alleged illegal appointment of fifteen individuals to his ministerial staff, during his tenure as a minister, and the subsequent collection of their salaries, allowances, and overtime payments.

The case is scheduled to be taken up before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today (03).
