Cabinet Spokesman and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa defends appointment of Ranga
CABINET Spokesman and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa has urged those questioning about the legality of the appointment of Ranga Dissanayake as Director General (DG) of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) to seek redress from the Supreme Court.
Addressing the weekly post-Cabinet meeting media briefing, he said that if the selection made by the Constitutional Council was flawed, irregular, and unconstitutional, former Minister Udaya Gammanpila or any other concerned party could go through a legal process to challenge Dissanayake’s appointment.
“Criticising is of no use when there is a legal process available. I know former Minister Gammanpila is well conversant with the law in this regard,” he said, questioning the motive behind raising allegations against the CIABOC DG long after his appointment was made.
