The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has initiated an inquiry into allegations of misuse of the President’s Fund.
According to a senior officer at Police Headquarters, the investigation commenced following a written complaint submitted by a group of four lawyers representing the “Lawyers Organisation for Protection of Public Funds.” The complaint was addressed to the Acting Inspector General of Police.
The President’s Fund Act outlines clear guidelines on the appropriate utilization of the fund’s resources. The complaint alleges that expenditures have been made beyond the scope of these directives, prompting the call for a thorough investigation.
The CID is expected to scrutinize the financial activities of the Fund to determine whether any irregularities have occurred and ensure compliance with legal provisions.
