The Hon. (Mrs.) Rohini Kumari Wijerathna on behalf of the Hon. J.C. Alawathuwala
Asked the Minister of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government whether the Government is aware that public sector retirees before 31 December 2015 are excluded from Agrahara Insurance coverage while those retiring after 1 January 2016 are included, and whether steps will be taken to address this. Also asked whether the Government recognizes that the 1997 B.C. Perera Salary Commission recommendations have been implemented only for a limited group of teachers and principals, and whether action will be taken to extend them to the majority; if not, reasons were requested.
