Colombo, March 01 (Daily Mirror) – The best choice to find out whether or not the plan of action adopted by Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana in appointing Deshabandu Tennakoon because the IGP is to hunt an interpretation from the Supreme Court, Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe mentioned right this moment.

Minister Rajapaksa got here out with this comment, chatting with journalists after the inauguration of a highway growth venture in Pannipitiya, Colombo. “It is best that Supreme Court gives an interpretation of the action taken by the Speaker,” he mentioned.

Also, he mentioned the Executive doesn’t have any energy to affect the Constitutional Council in any method.

He mentioned the difficulty which the Speaker has confronted when appointing the IGP is the non-appointment of the member of the constitutional council (CC) who represents minority events.

It was reported that 4 members of the CC voted in favour of Tennakoon whereas two voted towards. Two civil society members abstained from voting.
