Accordingly, the Minister has instructed the IGP to call for new applications for the appointment of OICs for each police station and to make public the procedure required to appoint more suitable officers.
IGP CD Jayasinghe said that the reason for the public's frustration with the police was the intense politicization of the police in the recent past. Mr. Wickramaratne had recently written a letter to the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Defense, retired Major General Jagath Alwis.
The letter stated that out of 184 OICs who were given OIC posts under the government from 01.01.2011 to 03.11.12021, only two OICs have been given the post with proper qualifications.
The letter revealed that the IGP had informed the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security in writing three months ago that the remaining 182 OICs had been appointed on political power without their recommendations.
