October 15, Colombo (LNW): The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the appointment of Mrs Pathirage Sandhya Kumuduni Rajapakse as Sri Lanka’s new Government Analyst.
This decision was made following the retirement of Mrs Deepika Seneviratne, who concluded her service on October 11, 2024.
Cabinet Spokesman Vijitha Herath announced the appointment during the Cabinet press briefing held this (15) morning, emphasising that the decision aligns with the seniority protocols within the Sri Lanka Scientific Service.
Rajapakse, who previously held the position of Additional Government Analyst, has been recognised as next in line among special grade officers, solidifying her eligibility for this crucial role.
Her appointment was proposed by Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, who also serves as the Minister of Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils, Local Government, and Labour.
This appointment comes at a significant time, as the Government Analyst’s Department plays a vital role in handling forensic and scientific evidence pertaining to investigations pivotal to law enforcement and the judicial system of the island nation.
