The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Hon. Mujibur Rahuman raised a point of order under Standing Order 119(1) regarding appointments to the Auditor-General position. He stated that the Constitutional Council had rejected the reappointment of the Acting Auditor-General and argued that the subsequent nominees proposed by the President were unsuitable, citing concerns about qualifications, allegations, seniority, and limited audit experience.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order under Standing Order 119(1). The Government Chief Organizer said that four names were proposed.
¶ 02 Of those four, one was the Acting Auditor-General whose name you approved earlier. After one and a half months, that same name was brought again, but the Constitutional Council rejected the re-appointment as Acting Auditor-General. The President then proposed three names. The first was his batchmate from Kelaniya, from the private sector. The second had allegations against him. The third was less qualified than the most senior officer in the Department of the Auditor-General. The final name was an officer from the Army with only about 11 months’ internal audit exposure. In effect, the three names proposed were not suitably qualified.
