“Constitution is being blatantly violated” Opposition Leader questions IGP appointment

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa says President Ranil Wickramasinghe has appointed Deshabandu Tennakoon as Inspector General of Police without the approval of Constitutional Council.

“CC didn’t approve IGP’s appointment. Votes: 4 for; 2 against; 2 abstentions. At least 5 votes are required for a decision. Speaker has a casting vote only in case of a tie. 4/2 is not a tie! Constitution is being blatantly violated for the second time. Shame on you speaker!” Sajith Premadasa tweeted.
