Anura Dissanayake appointed as President’s Chief of Staff

Date:

Anura Dissanayake has been appointed as the President’s Chief of Staff, bestowing full powers on him.

Dissanayake previously served as the Prime Minister’s Secretary and had to resign from his post with Mahinda Rajapaksa’s resignation.

Following Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s coming as the President, Dissanayake was to be appointed as the Secretary to the President, but was denied due to strong opposition from the family members. P.B. Jayasundara got the job upon the pressure exerted by the Rajapaksa family and was replaced with Gamini Senarath thereafter.
