Sri Lanka Bribery Commission Chief to resign following criticism from Sirisena

The Director General of Sri Lanka’s Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption  has told Sri Lanka’s president that she intends to resign reports the New Indian Express.

Ms Dirukshi Wickremesinghe’s resignation comes as Sri Lanka’s president Maithripala Sirisena , last week, accused the Bribery Commission of following a political agenda.

The president’s criticism of the Bribery Commission came after the commission started investigating former high ranking  Navy Chiefs and the former defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
