The President’s Office said on Thursday (17) that there was no truth to the reports that claim that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had asked CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal to resign.
It stated that a local newspaper report claiming that the IMF delegation had laid down such a condition is a total canard.
The IMF did not discuss officials and the talks covered only the monetary issues, said the President’s Media Division.
It went on to note that the President and the Government have the fullest confidence in the CBSL Governor and there is no reason whatsoever to seek his resignation.
