A Gazette notification has been issued appointing an 18-member Presidential Task Force, including the President’s Secretary, to oversee the implementation of the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ initiative. This initiative aligns with the President’s policy statement, “A Rich Country, a Beautiful Life,” and aims to launch a transformative national mission focused on the well-being, reconciliation, and progress of the nation.
The gazette, signed by Secretary to the President, Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake, was released yesterday (19). The task force comprises key figures including the Commanders of the Tri-Forces, the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), and the Chairman of the Urban Development Authority (UDA).
Designed to promote social, environmental, and ethical awareness, the program seeks to enhance environmental, economic, and social sustainability while improving the efficiency of state machinery to achieve its goals. The initiative received approval during a recent Cabinet meeting to facilitate its implementation.
