According to the President’s Media Division (PMD), both officials submitted their letters of resignation to President Anura Kumara Dissanayake earlier today (April 17).
The PMD stated that the decision was made to ensure an impartial and independent investigation by the Special Presidential Commission appointed to examine issues related to coal imports and electricity generation.
President Dissanayake recently established the commission to probe allegations of irregularities and possible illegal activities in the procurement of coal and the production of electricity. The investigation is expected to focus on transparency, accountability, and adherence to procurement procedures within the energy sector.
