The Public Service Commission has directed the Secretary of Public Security to submit a full report within three days, as the recent transfer of senior DIGs goes beyond the powers vested in him.
The letter was directed with the signature of the Secretary of the Public Service Commission M. A. B. Daya Senerath yesterday.
According to the letter, the Public Service Commission was also informed about the transfers through media reports.
The commission has been paying special attention to the issue since their meeting yesterday and even at that time the transfer has not yet been submitted to the commission for approval.
In that letter, the Public Service Commission has emphasized to the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security that the transfer powers of Senior DIGs and DIGs in accordance with the procedures approved by the Public Service Commission have been transferred by the Commission through the Gazette Extraordinary No. 222/24 dated November 20, 2020, to the Secretary of Public Security but none of the transfer procedures have been submitted to the Commission for approval so far.
