Vacant member positions on Sri Lanka’s Human Rights Commission and National Police Commission remain unfilled, with the appointment process delayed after officials had to call for applications twice.
Parliamentary sources said the first application round did not produce enough qualified candidates, prompting authorities to reopen the process. Preparations for interviews are now under way, and the interviews are expected to be held in the coming days.
The terms of members of both commissions have ended at different times in recent months, leaving the vacancies unresolved.
