Moves are afoot for a change in the Board of Directors of SriLankan Airlines, the national carrier.
Those familiar with the changes say the post of Chairman has been offered to Ranjith Fernando, a former Chairman of the National Development Bank. A response from him is being awaited.
Though the current Board of Directors was expected to resign last week, the matter has been put on hold.
Expected to be on the new board are Mano Tittawala (currently serving in the Finance Ministry) and the first chairman of Airlanka, Captain Rakhita Wikramanayake, 80.
Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Stabilization and NPP National List MP Harshana Suriyapperuma who is tipped to be named the next Finance Ministry Secretary resigned from Parliament today.
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
