Fernando was sacked from his deputy minister position in 2017 by President Sirisena.[3] He has claimed to have served in the Sri Lankan Air Force as a pilot and later in the SriLankan Airlines. However the Sri Lankan Air Force denied that he had ever served in the SLAF in any role and the only record of his career as a pilot is a failed Flying Aptitude Test. The Airline Pilots' Guild of Sri Lanka also denied that he was ever a pilot in the SriLankan Airlines.[4][5]
