  • 9 July 2025 AI summary Hon. Rohini Kumari Wijerathna questioned the Government’s handling of pension adjustments arising from the 2025 Budget salary increase, arguing that retirees from 2020 to 2024 have been left in an unresolved anomaly while those retiring after 1 January 2025 are aligned to the 2027 salary step. She noted that affected retirees had written to the Cabinet and President seeking a meeting and had protested on 2 May, but had not received a date. She asked the Prime Minister to clarify the Government’s position, particularly the apparent contradiction between the President’s categorisation of retirees before 2020 and after 2025 and the unresolved status of the 2020–2024 group.
