Luxury on Wheels: Porsche Cayenne S Given to Ex-Presidential Advisor

Sri Lanka’s Government has allocated a Porsche Cayenne S to a Former Presidential Advisor, according to a document released by the President’s Media Division (PMD).

The document also reveals that the Secretary to the former President received a Mercedes Benz 300, while the former President’s Chief of Staff was given a Land Cruiser V8.

The PMD issued a statement on Monday, clarifying the situation regarding the vehicles parked near the President’s Office in Colombo.

Following the election of the new President, over 100 vehicles were returned to the President’s Office within days.

Due to insufficient parking space, 107 of these vehicles were temporarily parked outside the premises under police protection.

The PMD emphasized that these vehicles were previously allocated to the former President’s personal staff under Section 41 (1) of the Constitution and were not assigned to the permanent staff at the President’s Office. The vehicles were parked outside not to showcase a fleet but due to the lack of adequate parking facilities.

Furthermore, the PMD stated that, as per the President’s directives, all these vehicles will be reassigned to essential services. A detailed list of the vehicles has also been released by the PMD.
