Co Cabinet Spokesman Dayasiri Jayasekara justified the retirement of former Navy Commander Travis Sinnaiah, who had been given only two months service extension. He explained to the media that in order to allow his Junior war heros, an opportunity of retiring as head of Navy, he was given a short period of extension.
These Juniors deserve to be at the helm of the Navy, which would not have been possible had Sinnaiah was given a term of one year extension , he concluded.
