Speaker Asoka Ranwala has tendered his resignation following the controversy surrounding his academic qualifications.
Issuing a statement, Ranwala clarified that while he has not made any false claims, he is currently unable to substantiate his academic records due to the absence of certain documents.
“I intend to present the academic documents from the research institutes affiliated with Japan’s Waseda University, where I obtained my doctorate,” he said.
However, the Speaker said that he is stepping down in light of the current circumstances, expressing that he does not want to cause discomfort to the public who have placed their trust in the government.
