Dissanayake succeeds High Court Judge W.K.D. Wijeratne, who resigned from the position on October 07, 2024. 

 

Following Wijeratne’s resignation, Mrs. M.R.Y.K. Udawela had been temporarily appointed to fulfill the duties of the Director General from October 10, 2024, until the appointment of a permanent successor.  

 

During her tenure, Mrs. Udawela demonstrated remarkable efficiency, preparing charge sheets for 62 case files and completing related tasks under the supervision of the commission members. 

 

This achievement has been recognized as an exceptional performance in a limited timeframe, the Bribery Commission said.
