The President’s Office has clarified concerns regarding the vehicles parked near the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo. According to the statement, 107 vehicles handed over to the Presidential Office after the appointment of the new President are temporarily parked outside the Secretariat premises under police protection.
These vehicles were not assigned to regular staff but were provided to the private staff of the former President during his tenure, as per Article 41(1) of the Constitution. The vehicles were parked outside due to the lack of space inside the Secretariat.
The President’s Media Division further clarified that the vehicles were not displayed intentionally and are being allocated for essential services as per President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s directive. A full list of the vehicles and the individuals they were assigned to has been released.
