Parliament to debate removal of IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon on April 08

Date:

April 03, Colombo (LNW): The Committee on Parliamentary Business has scheduled a resolution for debate in Parliament on April 08, calling for the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry to assess the removal of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon from his position.

The decision, made during a meeting chaired by Speaker Dr Jagath Wickramaratne, marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of the country’s top police official.

The resolution, if approved, will pave the way for a formal investigation into Tennakoon’s conduct and determine whether grounds exist for his dismissal, according to the Communications Department of Parliament.

Whilst specific allegations prompting the move have not been detailed, his tenure has been marred by controversy, with critics accusing him of misconduct and political bias.

In addition to the scheduled debate on Tennakoon’s position, Parliament is set to convene on April 08, 09, and 10 to address other legislative matters.
