Charitha Herath turns down Lake House Chairmanship

(FASTNEWS | COLOMBO) – Dr. Charitha Herath has decided not to accept the position as the new Chairman of the Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited (ANCL – Lake House).

Although my name has been recommended for several positions in the new govt & I’ve been appointed for one out of them I’ve decided to commit my time for a more active political intervention in the next 3 months than restricting my engagement in to one specific role.#SriLanka pic.twitter.com/BrELfNWmG6

We’ve been successful in defeating the so called Yahapalana govt & now it’s our responsibility to contribute in strengthening the national policy framework of HE @GotabayaR. Hence my wish is to politically engage in the process of making president’s vision in to a reality.
