Shake-up in AG's Department
Sweeping changes were made this week in the supervision of criminal work in the Attorney General's Department with Solicitor General C.R. de Silva been placed in charge of general supervision of all criminal matters.

Attorney General K.C. Kamalasabayson issued the new orders which will come into operation with immediate effect. The orders take away supervision of criminal work that was until this week under Additional Solicitor General Rienzie Arseculeratne who has now been assigned only with the supervision and nomination of State Counsel for Supreme Court (criminal) and High Court appeals.

Discharge orders in all criminal cases, orders relating to preliminary inquires, the non-summary unit, and sanctions for bail matters handled till this week by Mr. Rienzie Arseculeratne have all been brought under the Solicitor General-who had handled these functions earlier-with immediate effect.
