Appointment of a CEO to Oversee ‘Sirikotha’

The appointment of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was one of the main recommendations made by the Ruwan Wijewardene committee which was formed to look into the reorganization of the UNP.  One of the main functions of the CEO would be to assist the General Secretary of the party in running the headquarters. The post of CEO of the party is expected to be a full-time post, therefore ministers and MPs will be prevented from taking up the position.

The United National Party (UNP) is set to appoint a CEO to look after the affairs of its headquarters, Sirikotha, party sources said yesterday.

The main objective behind the creation of this post is to see that Sirikotha is run effectively and efficiently, UNP sources said.
