The Asian Human Rights Commission, also known as Ahrc, has said it's gravely concerned that Sri Lanka's Auditor General, Sarath Mayadunne is being criticised by senior government officials, after he named them in a report exposing government corruption. In a letter to Sri Lanka's president, Mahinda Rajapakse, Ahrc urges him to prevent any attempts to undermine the official, whose duty - it says - is to make a critical evaluation of the public institutions without fear of interference. The Ahrc letter came after the Finance Secretary, who himself had been named in the auditor's report, criticised the official in press interviews saying his reports had a negative impact on the public sector. Ahrc have called on Sri Lanka's President to take appropriate measures to ensure the office of the auditor general maintains it's constitutional independence. |
