Secretary to the National Police Commission N. Ariyadasa Cooray says that he has been removed from the position.
Speaking to Ada Derana, Mr. Cooray said that the commission informed him today that he has been removed from the post due to him being overage.
He said that he was informed in writing following a special discussion held at the commission today (20).
According to the 09/2008 circular, public sector employees reaching the retirement age of 60 can be allowed to continue their service until the age of 67.
Therefore, Mr. Cooray says that he could rightly continue to serve until September this year.
However, he says that he has been removed citing the 03/2018 circular regarding the retirement of public servants and other public sector employees on reaching the age of 60.
