Kumarasinghe_Sirisena
Pallewatta Gamaralalage Kumarasinghe Sirisena (born 18 February 1962), sometimes known as P. G. Kumarasinghe, is a Sri Lankan business executive and former Group Chairman of Sri Lanka Telecom.[1][2][3][4][5] He is the younger brother of the former President of Sri Lanka, Maithripala Sirisena.
Sirisena served as general manager of the Sri Lankan State Timber Corporation[6] from 2005 until November 2014,[7] with his position being terminated after the beginning of his brother's presidential campaign.[8]
Subsequent to his brother's electoral victory, Sirisena was appointed the chairman of Sri Lanka Telecom — an appointment which the Colombo Telegraph called "controversial", while conceding that Sirisena has the requisite education and professional experience for the position.[9] The Sunday Leader later revealed that the President had appointed Sirisena despite the objections of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and several members of his cabinet.[10]
Sirisena was also his brother's coordinating secretary in 2005, when his brother served as Leader of the House in the Parliament of Sri Lanka.[10]
