The appointment of Anuruddha Polgampola as the new Chairman of State Timber Corporation (STC) has reportedly been suspended with immediate effect.
Polgampola received his letter of appointment from President Maithripala Sirisena at the President’s Official Residence on May 4th.
However, following various allegations being leveled against Polgampola, the President has decided to suspend the appointment, it is learnt.
Polgampola was appointed a day after the President ordered the immediate suspension of then Chairman of the Corporation P. Dissanayaka, who along with President’s former Chief of Staff Dr I.H.K. Mahanama were apprehended over bribery charges.
