Major General Sumedha Perera (Rtd) has informed the Secretary to the President asking that he be relieved of his duties as the Agriculture Ministry Secretary due to 'unforeseen circumstances'.

Go if you want to, who gives a crap. Apparently you are a 'misfit' who probably only know from what end of a rifle the bullet exits - nothing else not even basic administrative savvy.

Under his nose illicit deforestation was taking place in the name of cultivation. He should not only resign but should also be charged with environmental destruction.

No. he is clever as he plundered properties of innocent people with the backing of the rulers who had been. Even mansions for that matter.
