Wasanthi appointed without cabinet’s knowing!

 Thursday, 28 August 2014 

Wasanthi Manchanayake, who had been appointed by the cabinet to act as the inland revenue commissioner general until such time a qualified person is appointed due to the existing crisis, has now been appointed permanently without the knowledge of the cabinet.

To prove that, trade unions of the department have sent us a letter containing her signature and stamp. The TUs say the president, as the finance minister, should explain to the cabinet as to how she had been appointed to the position.

There are more qualified persons than her to the position, but she has been appointed on the basis of the friendship her husband is having with the chief-of-staff of the president Gamini Senarath.
