The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the appointment of U.D.N. Jayaweera, a Senior Special Grade Officer of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), as the Acting Commissioner General of Excise, effective immediately.
During the Cabinet press conference today (8th October), Cabinet Spokesman Minister Vijitha Herath highlighted the critical role of the Excise Department as the government’s primary revenue collection agency. He noted that strong leadership is essential to meet future challenges and maintain revenue targets.
This decision follows a proposal by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to replace J.M. Gunasiri, who was serving as Commissioner General on a contract basis. Jayaweera, currently an additional secretary at the President’s Secretariat, will take over the position.
