This is the strongest statement and admission that the most senior officers are unsuited for the top job. This fact will not and cannot be changed in three months time. The best way to resolve it is to appoint a less senior or junior officer with impeccable character, service record, and potential to the top post. Hopefully he will have a long tenure to clean up the mess and bring the force to a more respectable and reputable status. If locking in a long tenure is too risky, consider appointing the person on a fixed term appointment to try the person out. It the regulations need to be ammended to accommodate it so be it. Give the person the powers to summarily dismiss any 'seniors' do not fall in line and perform.

Artificially an interest has been created throughout the country “ Who will be the next IGP” ? . There are Sri Lankans researching “Space and Galaxies” in America, top Sri Lankan lawyers in Britain, successful IT technologists in Australia; but back home the whole country is focussed on the next IGP.

Old Fox's nephew is more cunning than the old fox. He will do everything to have his choice ready to hold office without much comment. Old fox got the SC judges houses stoned and let us watch what follows this time.

Sad State of Affairs!!?? Not that we condone SWRD appointing his preferential MWFA Orient Buddy as IGP back in 1956, that may be the only solution for the next 3-4 years atleast to wean away the embedded Corruption and Nepotism!!!??? Importantly Kleptocracy weaved-in over the long tenure of 20 years (2004 to 2023) of R. Bros., Inc. Governance at the least!!!??? Identify, PERSON outside present DIG’s, SDIG’s, probably SP/SSP be TRAINED SPECIFICALLY, targeted, as IGP, 2028/29 – including training for Year – London, Paris. Berlin or Singapore Metropolitan Police!!!??? So by 2028, the SALVATION once again IGP Seniority of sustained Chain-of-Command and Promotions in “interregnum”, ‘FLUSHING THE SYSTEM’ of BAD, EVIL!!?? By 2028, New IGP and SL Police regains, Discipline, Even-Handedness, Jurisprudence and Integrity, once enjoyed, if not in abundance "ATLEAST HANDLING SPECIFIC ISSUES"!!!???

Likewise, Ranil will have to call all the retired Doctors replacing the Doctors already left the island, before it's too late.

Traffic accidents galore , killings everyday , law and order in tatters. This record of recalled IGP is not visible to the black coats who is hindering the appointment of an IGP who could bring fresh thinking.
