The Hon. Thilina Samarakoon
Thilina Samarakoon raised concerns about outdated stock control practices and procurement issues observed at several SLTB depots, linking them to continued financial losses. He asked the Minister whether there is a programme to improve staff attitudes and practices in stock control and depot operations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary question to the Hon. Minister:
¶ 02 From inspections at several depots, it is evident very old methods are used for stock control. Practically, issues also appear in bulk procurement. That is why I raised this question. Within depots, staff who serve on buses also need an attitudinal change. In the private sector, they gain profits; generally, SLTB keeps incurring losses. This is a time we need attitudinal development among staff regarding stock control and depot operations. Do you have a programme for that?
