A spokesman for the Commission told Times Online that the CID Director has been asked to submit documents regarding an ongoing inquiry into the car park of the Agriculture Ministry building in Rajagiriya.
This is in connection to a complaint filed at the commission against the exorbitant monthly rent of Rs 21.5 million paid by the Ministry for its current building owned by D.P.A. Jayasinghe Company.
Meanwhile, parliamentarian Duminda Dissanayake has been asked to appear before the Presidential Commission to provide evidence over the complaint tomorrow.
