One-time Executive Director of the election monitoring outfit CAFFE (Campaign for Free and Fair Elections) Keerthi Tennakoon says the Election Commission (EC) is in turmoil with over a dozen public servants being transferred under controversial circumstances. Tennakoon, who served as Governor of Uva, Southern and Central Provinces during Maihripala Sirisena’s tenure as the President, insists that recent spate of transfers and fresh appointments contrary to laid down procedures undermines the vital commission.
Tennakoon, who represented the Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) at the EC in the run-up to the last general election in Aug 2020, said so in response to our queries pertaining to the raging controversy over transferring of 15 public servants. Tennakoon said that the ongoing efforts to transform the EC to a puppet should be examined against the backdrop of the enactment of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution in October, 2020.
