Former Defence Secretary, Gotabaya Rajapaksa is said to have been given a special commando security team on the orders of President Maithripala Sirisena.
The team is said to be accompanying Rajapaksa on his trips to various areas across the island in his bid to be nominated as the next Presidential candidate from the Joint Opposition.
However, while the President and the Prime Minister only has security from the Special Force in the Army, not even former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka who were instrumental in ending the war has been given commando security. They have only been provided by officers from the Police Special Task Force (STF).
