Colombo, September 30 - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Legal Secretary Farman Cassim has sent an application under the Right to Information Act (RTI) requesting details on the privileges which the Security Head of Ranil Wickremesinghe had allegedly asked for, on behalf of the former President.

SJB Weligama Organiser and former Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha Rehan Jayawickama said his party has filed this application over a purported letter sent by Wickremesinghe’s Security Head Nizam Jamaldeen.

“I am awaiting a reply from the former President’s office,” Jayawickrama said in his X message, regarding the RTI request.

All these ex Presidents were directly responsible for the current position. How dare they can ask more privledges. They have enough and until they die we have to feed them

What Ranil has asked for is unbelievable for a person who boasts that he fixed the economy. He gave vehicles and salary to almost 100 advisors maintaining friends. He contested to develop our country. What a fake?

This is rather strange. I feel like both SJB and NPP are obsessed with the former president Ranil. Everybody claims MR is the biggest thief and the most corrupt politician. Yet nobody actually does any investigations about him. On the other hand, everybody wants to know about Ranil. If Ranil actually did something wrong, settle it on the courts. If what they really want to do is to kill the idea of Ranil, they simply need to do a better job.

Ah but Rohan Pethiyagoda in his video said Ranil in 2 years was responsible for the VFS and Wind Power attempted scams would have cost Rs285 billion while all of Rajapakse spending for the port, airport stadiun conventionl hall and Nelum Kuluna was around Rs.250 billion and at least they were there for some use to us. The Ranil scams were all money laundering and nothing to show or value.

A president who boasted that he would become like Hitler is asking for more security when he is out of power. IRONY OF FATE.

SJB is full of egoistic cry babies who has done nothing to the country. Actually NPP and SJB must take stern action against the Rajapakshas and not Ranil. seems like they are more concerned of Ranil as that guy still has the gut to take up a challenge in future. MR and GR must be dealt with not Ranil.

Immigration officers at the air port should not allow these rouges to use these diplomatic passports any more while going out of the country
