Former minister and UPFA MP Johnston Fernando and former Lak Sathosa Chairman K.M.R. Fernando were further remanded until May 11 after being produced before Kurunegala Chief Magistrate Ravindra Premaratne this morning.

They were arrested by the Financial Crimes Investigations Division yesterday over charges that came under the Public Property Act.  

Accordingly, as the minister in charge of the Cooperative Wholesale Establishment (CWE) he had allegedly ordered that goods worth more than Rs.5.2 million be released from three CWE warehouses in the Kurunegala District during the previous North-Eastern Provincial Council election.
