The FCID is conducting an investigation into the import of 222,717 metric tonnes of rice for Lanka Sathosa without the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers.

A spokesman said that a statement is currently being recorded form the UPFA Kurunegala District MP regarding the complaint.

Fernando had recently been summoned to the President Commission of Inquiry (CoI) over the same incident.
