AG’s Dept. may come under President
There was speculation in political circles yesterday on whether President Maithripala Sirisena will bring the Attorney General’s Department under his purview.
This is when he issues a Gazette notification assigning the subjects for the New Minister of Justice, Talatha Athukorale, who was sworn in on Friday.There was no official confirmation on the matter yesterday. The move, according to sections in the Government, is in view of criticism levelled against the AG’s Department.
President Sirisena in fact held a news conference on Thursday to condemn those who criticised the Department.
However, when former President Mahinda Rajapaksa took the AG’s Department under his direct control, the then Opposition criticised the move and accused him of influencing cases.
