Sri Lanka, Jan. 8 -- The Opposition is planning to complain to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank over the government's failure to appoint the long overdue Auditor General, MP Dayasiri Jayasekara said today.

He told a news conference at the Parliament Complex that they would urge the IMF and the World Bank to reconsider when releasing funds to Sri Lanka in the absence of the AG.

The MP said the power on public finance is vested with the Parliament and that parliamentary business is discussed without an Attorney General in the country at the moment.

He said President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is plotting to appoint an AG partial to him, which has caused the delay.
