Parliament to debate Police Chief’s removal this week

Date:

August 03, Colombo (LNW): A crucial parliamentary session has been scheduled for August 05, with legislators preparing to debate a motion that could lead to the dismissal of Deshabandu Tennakoon from his position as Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Parliament will convene at 9:30 a.m., presided over by the Speaker, with a vote on the matter anticipated by late afternoon.

With Tennakoon’s tenure being increasingly contentious due to a series of high-profile controversies and public criticism surrounding police accountability, the outcome of the debate may mark a significant shift in the Police force of Sri Lanka.
