Appointment of New Inspector General of Police Pending Decision

Date:

Minister of Public Security, Tiran Alles, has revealed that a decision is still pending regarding the appointment of a new Inspector General of Police (IGP). This statement comes in response to an inquiry made by News 1st about the next steps following the three-week service extension granted to the current IGP, C.D. Wickramaratne.

Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana has noted that the Constitutional Council has not yet received a nomination for the new IGP. The Constitutional Council is scheduled to convene on the 9th of November to discuss this matter.

IGP C.D. Wickramaratne has received three service extensions, including two previous three-month extensions and an additional three-week extension. The recent request by the President to the Constitutional Council sought to extend his service term by another three weeks. However, the Constitutional Council clarified that it does not require the Council’s permission to grant a service extension to the Inspector General of Police.
