Mr. Ranawaka is the member nominated by the President to the CC, which is chaired by the Speaker by virtue of his office.
The joint opposition, in a letter signed by its parliamentary group leader Dinesh Gunawardane and a few other MPs such Bandula Gunawardane and Vasudeva Nanayakkara, said that was a police investigation concerning Mr. Ranawaka's alleged involvement in a road accident and that he should, therefore, not be a part of a body that would choose the next police head.
The letter said there were also court proceedings in this regard.
