Senior administrative officer S. Rannuge, who was removed from the post of Export Development and International Trade Ministry Secretary by the President for publicly stating that Sri Lanka might lose the GSP+ facility, has decided to retire from the administrative service.
Rannuge has decided to retire from the service a year earlier following the anguish of being removed from his office and assigned as a reserve administrative officer. Rannuge had told several friends that after performing his duties with dignity throughout his career, it was far better for him to retire rather than work as a reserve officer. |

Several requests made by Minister G.L. Pieris to retain Rannuge as the Ministry Secretary have been denied by the President.
The President has made several requests from Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka to assume the post of Export Development and International Trade Ministry Secretary that fell vacant following Rannuge’s removal. General Fonseka however has not agreed to the request.
