An Attorney General while being the Chief Prosecuting Lawyer in a country is also the civilian legal authority to instruct and if need be to challenge the Police and all other Law Enforcement Agencies. But in most part the Attorney Generals in Sri Lanka have been very timid to the IGPs and played the role of second fiddle to the Police. Let us hope this new incumbent is competent and brave enough to carry out the full role of an Attorney General.
