The Director General of the Bribery or Corruption Allegations Commission resigns from his post

Bribery or Corruption Allegations Investigation Commission Director General W.A.K. Wijeratne’s lawyers have informed the Supreme Court today that he will resign from his position and that the relevant letter will be forwarded to the President today (07).

This notice was given when the fundamental rights petitions filed challenging the appointment of the Director General of the Bribery or Corruption Investigation Commission were considered today.

These petitions had been submitted claiming that the decision taken by the then President to appoint W.A.K Wijeratne as the Director General of the Bribery Commission on the recommendations of the Constitutional Council was against the law and that an order be issued to invalidate the said decision.
