New Acting Attorney General appointment in Sri Lanka

Date:

June 30, Colombo (LNW): Senior Additional Solicitor General Parinda Ranasinghe is set to be sworn in as Acting Attorney General of Sri Lanka tomorrow before the Chief Justice.

This follows the Constitutional Council’s rejection last week of President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s proposal to extend incumbent Attorney General Sanjay Rajaratnam’s term by six months, with five members voting against and three in favour. Rajaratnam’s term concludes at the end of this month.
