President insists on Dayan for Russia
The appointment of Dayan Jayatilleke as Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Russia was eventually approved on Thursday by the High Posts Committee of Parliament after President Maithripala Sirisena spoke to some of the members and insisted on the appointment. Earlier, the committee wrote to the President objecting to the appointment.
Yet, four committee members, whose identities are not known, have said that their objections should be recorded. It is believed they are JVP MPs.
Speaker Karu Jayasuriya had accordingly recorded their dissent and also informed President Sirisena of the position.
Dr. Jayatilleke, though not a career diplomat, has served as ambassador in Geneva and Paris previously during the Mahinda Rajapaksa Administration.
