Colombo, May 8 (Daily Mirror) - Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) has filed a Fundamental Rights Petition in the Supreme Court, challenging the appointment of Kanishka Wijeratne as the Director General (DG) of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC).
Mr. Wijeratne, who had previously served as the DG of CIABOC since January 2020, was reappointed to the same position on April 2, 2024, following the enactment of the new Anti-Corruption Act.
The TISL's petition contends that Kanishka Wijeratne's appointment violates provisions of the Anti-Corruption Act, lacks procedural integrity and transparency.
The TISL requests the Supreme Court to nullify the appointment or alternatively direct the authorities to remove Mr. Wijeratne and appoint a new DG in accordance with the law.
The petition further argues that he does not meet all statutory requirements and criteria for the
DG role.

Almost all actions are challenged. There is no end to crruption and thefts. When same shuffled crooks contest for elections from all parties and these important appointments are questionable many a time, people cannot expect any good new govt. and good governance.
