flag Sri Lanka’s Auditor General position has been vacant since December 2024 due to political gridlock, undermining financial oversight and governance.

flag Sri Lanka has lacked a duly appointed Auditor General since December 2024, with the Constitutional Council repeatedly rejecting presidential nominees, including O.R. flag Rajasinghe, due to political deadlock. flag The prolonged vacancy has disrupted key oversight bodies, weakened parliamentary control over public finances, and undermined transparency amid a fragile economic recovery. flag Civil society and international observers warn the absence threatens public trust, donor confidence, and accountability, especially under an IMF program. flag The crisis highlights systemic flaws in a constitutional framework reliant on political goodwill rather than enforceable rules, raising concerns about institutional independence and governance integrity.
