CC not approved Deshabandu’s appointment: Sajith

By Yohan Perera 

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said the Constitutional Council (CC) has not approved the appointment of Deshabandu Tennakoon as the new IGP. 

 “There were four votes in favour, 2 against while two members of the CC abstained. At least five votes are required for a decision. The Speaker has to cast a vote only in case of a tie. There was no tie. The Constitution has been blatantly violated for the second time,” he said.
