With incumbent IGP C.D. Wickremaratne set to retire on March 26, his successor has become a hot topic now.
Wickremaratne has already sent his retirement letter to the secretary to the ministry of public security.
Several senior DIGs are vying for the position.
President’s counsel U.R. de Silva has explained to Neth News the procedure of appointing a police chief as per the constitution.
An extension for the incumbent or a temporary appointment has to be intimated by the president to the Constitutional Council, he said.
