The Finance Ministry yesterday in a statement said no Treasury officials had resigned from their respective posts.

“All nominees of the Ministry of Finance who have been appointed as Directors to the Boards of the State Owned Enterprises (SoEs) are continuously serving in their respective positions and no one has resigned from their positions,” the Ministry said.

The statement was in response to media reports alleging that there was a mass resignation of the Directors serving as Ex-officio members on the boards of directors of the SoEs and technical Evaluation Committees.

“We basically protect the officials who have done nothing wrong, but if there is a wrongdoer we have nothing to do as there will be a judicial procedure which is free from the political interferences under the Good Governance system of administration,” Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake was quoted as saying in the statement.
