The Sri Lankan government spends Rs 1,329,387 per month for former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, a report by factseeker.lk states.
Quoting the Presidential Secretariat, the fact-checking website states Rs 991,000 was spent on pension, fuel allowance and secretarial allowance for Rajapaksa in December.
The report further stated that Rs. 338,387.60 was spent on telephone, electricity, water and other expenses.
However, the Presidential Secretariat is yet to reveal details on the vehicles currently being used by former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The details have been revealed in response to a Right To Information (RTI) request made by The FactSeeker on 24 January from the Presidential Secretariat.
The RTI was filed following speculation on social media and mainstream media about the government expenditure for Gotabaya Rajapaksa who resigned from the presidency in July, last year.
