President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has issued a special gazette notification revising the portfolios of several ministries.
Accordingly, the State Ministry of Prison Management and Prisoner Rehabilitation has been re-established by the gazette notification.
Lohan Ratwatte, who served as the Minister, resigned from his post until investigations were carried out into the Anuradhapura and Welikada prisons being raided at night and causing problems. The ministry was placed under the Minister of Justice.
