Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa yesterday said the motion to remove suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Thennakoon from office will be presented to Parliament on 8 or 9 April with a vote scheduled to follow.

On Tuesday (25), a group of 113 MPs of the National People’s Power (NPP) submitted a motion to Speaker Dr. Jagath Wickramaratne with signatures of 115 parliamentarians, listing 26 charges against Thennakoon.
Responding to queries posed at the weekly post Cabinet meeting, in reply to a question, he clarified the move is to remove Thennakoon from his position as IGP, and given the allegations, any public official will not be able to work thereafter.
