The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara referred to a previous court case he and others pursued to raise the upper age limit to 45, noting that the Gazette date had not been discussed at that time. He requested the Deputy Minister to decide on the Gazette date and, if issuing a new Gazette, to include the small number of Archaeology and Sociology graduates to resolve their concerns without creating further categorization issues.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will be brief. I thank the Deputy Minister for the answers. It was we — including myself and Hon. Faiszer Musthapha — who pursued the court case to raise the upper age limit to 45 during the previous Government. We did not discuss the Gazette date then. I request that you take a decision regarding the Gazette date. As for Archaeology and Sociology graduates, the numbers are small; if you issue a new Gazette, please include them to resolve their issues rather than categorizing in a way that creates further problems.
