Ratnasiri Rajapakse (c.1946 - 12 September 2003) was a Sri Lanka politician, and the former Mayor of Colombo,[1] between 1991 and 1996.[2] [3]
He was a member of the Western Provincial Council, a member of the United National Party Executive Committee and the General Secretary of the Sri Sucharitha movement, founded by President Ranasinghe Premadasa.[4]
In May 1994 he was removed from the office of mayor on corruption charges and was replaced by the deputy mayor, Kanagasabai Ganeshalingam.[5] His subsequent petition to the Court of Appeal was rejected and he followed this with an appeal to the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1997 that his removal was invalid,[6] the order however came a month after the Colombo Municipal Council was dissolved.[7] [8]
