October 07, Colombo (LNW): Kanishka Wijeratne, the Director General of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), has agreed to resign from his position, following a Supreme Court hearing today (07).
This decision comes after the court granted leave to proceed with three Fundamental Rights (FR) applications challenging his appointment to the role.
The applications, filed by various parties, raised concerns regarding the legality and appropriateness of Wijeratne’s appointment.
As a result, the Supreme Court deemed it necessary to consider these challenges, permitting the cases to move forward.
During the proceedings, Wijeratne offered an undertaking to step down from his post, thereby addressing one of the key demands raised in the petitions.
