How do we know that these appointments have been made based on their academic qualifications or career experience/skills proved on the respective fields? Or whether they are politically motivated appointments to hold these positions so that they can be used to manipulate the affairs to the requirements.

Dr.Harendra Dissa Bandara is one of best in Finance academic field in Sri Lanka. He also does not have enough research background and he did not publish any research papers in well reputed journals such as SSCI indexed. This appointment is also one appointment like before. He can earn good money in his stay in the CSE. Prathiba Mahanama does not have any research background at all speacially related to Capital Market

Being a student of him during my degree and having worked with him during his later part of the university life, I would say that they have appointed to a very challenging post.

The Govt keeps on appointing people who may be good in their own fields of excellence but who know next to nothing about the Securities industry. That is why the industry is not going forward.

He will do a research leading to discovery of reasons behind the EPF procuring large quantity of Laughf Gas at very high price some times back, causing tremendous loss to this public fund.
