The ongoing debate surrounding the educational and professional qualifications of several Sri Lankan politicians, including former Speaker Ashoka Ranwala, has extended to Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa. In light of the questions raised about his academic credentials, Premadasa has taken proactive steps to clarify the matter.
Sajith Premadasa himself has previously addressed questions about his qualifications, and now, in response to the renewed controversy, Rajitha Lakmal, head of the legal department of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), has publicly confirmed Premadasa’s academic achievements. On his official Facebook account, Lakmal posted a statement referencing Premadasa’s qualifications as documented in 2019.
According to the post, Premadasa received awards for his exceptional performance in A-level Business Studies and Political Science at Milhill College in the United Kingdom in 1986. The statement, originally made by Premadasa, seeks to clarify the details of his education and respond to the ongoing scrutiny.
Additionally, Lakmal mentioned that further details, including a document verifying Premadasa’s educational qualifications, would be provided shortly to put any doubts to rest. The public disclosure of these credentials aims to ensure transparency and address the questions that have resurfaced in recent discussions about Sri Lanka’s political figures.
