PM Undertook Not to Renew Mahendran’s Contract Before Completion of Investigations

‘Citizen’s Power’ activist Gamini Viyangoda  met Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe Yesterday (19) morning and demanded removal of Arjuna Mahendran until he is cleared .
If he is cleared, he can be reappointed, or else, another person should be appointed, he said.
PM  has agreed not to extend the term of Central Bank governor Arjun Mahendran pending the completion of investigations into accusations against him.
It will not be good governance if a decision is not taken regarding the CB governor without considering the accusations against him over the CB bond issues, he added.
Both the president and the PM have come to understand the seriousness of the issue and the possible damaging results to the government, according to Viyangoda.
