The Hon. Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku
A CEO has not yet been formally recruited, and an internal officer has been appointed to act in the role. An earlier recruitment process did not identify a suitable candidate according to the interview board’s assessment of the institution’s financial and administrative needs, so the post has been re-advertised. From 200 applications received, 75 have been shortlisted, with an appointment expected from that group.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, you are correct. A CEO has not yet been recruited. Therefore, we have appointed someone internally to act as CEO. We advertised last year to recruit a CEO, but within last year we did not find a candidate suitable for the financial and administrative condition of the institution. We cannot ourselves decide suitability; that is why an interview board is appointed to determine suitability. Therefore, we have advertised again to recruit a CEO. We have received 200 applications and shortlisted 75. We expect to appoint one of them as CEO.
