C.D. Wickramaratne took everything away excepting furniture from the office of the Inspector General of Police on June 27, a day after he retired as the police chief, lankadeepa.lk reports.
Administrative affairs of the police department have become disrupted with no successor appointed in his place.
Meanwhile, police media spokesman Nihal Talduwa has told ‘Anidda’ that senior officials would supervise institutional affairs until such time the Constitutional Council and the president appoint a new police chief.
The president is yet to recommend a successor to Wickramaratne, who retired upon the completion of his service extension.
According to sources at the Presidential Secretariat, prime minister Dinesh Gunawardena, public security minister Tiran Alles and government MPs have asked the president to appoint senior DIG Deshabandu Tennakoon to the position.
