Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa arrived at the Presidential Commission of Inquiry to Investigate and Inquire into Serious Acts of Fraud, Corruption and Abuse of Power, State Resources and Privileges (PRECIFAC) to give a statement on the alleged default of payment to ITN during the 2015 presidential election campaign.

Rajapaksa was scheduled to appear at the commission yesterday. However, its proceedings were postponed since his lawyers asked for documents filed by the complainant.

The former President was in Kandy yesterday to attend religious activities to mark his 70th birthday.

Rajapaksa has already given one statement to the PRECIFAC on September 23. He attended several sessions of the proceedings last month.
