Colombo, Sep 15 (Daily Mirror) - The High Post Committee of Parliament has decided to summon Public Security Ministry Secretary Ravi Seneviratne for an inquiry into legal cases pending against him.

The Committee is the parliamentary body that clears the government's appointments to key posts, such as Ambassadors and High Commissioners, Ministry Secretaries, and chairmen of statutory boards.

The appointments are usually advertised in newspapers, enabling anyone aggrieved to raise objections in terms of petitions.

An opposition MP familiar with the High Post Committee proceedings said that there are several ongoing court cases against Mr. Seneviratne, including for drunk driving.

"The Committee will inquire into the current status of these court cases as per the procedure," the source said.

The decision was taken at the meeting held last week. He is slated to be summoned before the committee on a day during the first parliamentary week of October.

In Singapore he would never have been appointed. This is the difference in the most corrupt island in the world.

Just imagine if it happened to a bayya guy when the bayyas were running the show - wouldn't that have already been brushed off?

If there are allegations against him, he has too has to go despite however good he maybe. That is the culture that has to be created if this country has to progress.

Drunk driving matter is already before court so this Committee must not question him on an y pending cases. Any cases that have been completed Yes question him

Some time ago ,Lalkantha the present minister of Agriculture said in public meeting, once he was caught for drunk driving and he was in remand for 14 days . He further said that had never called any politician for help and spend 14 days in remand and came out paying the fine.

It is highly unlikely the committee will take any action against Ravi because he is already a politically appointed person with the approval of the President.. If he has the dignity he should never have accepted any position knowingly that he is at fault. This is very clear that an dishonest person holding a top position with the Law and Order institution of Sri Lanka.
