State enterprises appointments: UNF seeks review of committee process View(s):The United National Front has insisted that in appointing persons to top slots in state-run institutions, professional experience and sound knowledge on the subject should be taken into consideration in addition to educational qualifications. Headed by Presidential Secretary Udaya Seneviratne, the Review Committee includes former Presidential Secretary W.J.S. Karunaratne, the Prime Minister’s Secretary Saman Ekanayake, Attorney-at-Law Misbah Sathas and Deputy Treasury Secretary A.R. Presidential Secretariat Additional Secretary Nalaka Kaluwewa said the vetting process was similar to the Parliamentary High Posts Committee process. Before the committee met formally on Friday, President Maithripala Sirisena made three appointments to state enterprises which come under his direct purview.
