Dear Mr. Chandra Fernando,

I observe you have adopted several positive measures to curb the rising wave of organized crime in the country.

From 1994 as Minister of Defence I initiated several programmes to curb the spread of crime. I am glad to note that you have played a very constructive role since you assumed duties as Inspector General of Police. During the short period of your tenure as the Inspector General your action to resolve certain matters that remained in abeyance for years is commendable.

The effectiveness of your plan to curb the spread of crime and the service rendered by you and your staff under the direction of the Minister of Public Security, Law & Order deserve high praise. I am convinced the entire citizenry that values law and order is appreciative of your services.

I assure you that my government is fully committed to this cause and will provide you all assistance necessary to continue your good work.

I wish you and your staff the strength and courage to continue your programme.

Signed
Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga
