The Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy
Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy raised concerns about Development Officers, Management Assistants and Technical Assistants in the Northern Province, noting that some officers appointed to Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi, Vavuniya and Mannar have served far from home for long periods while transfers within nearby Jaffna areas are granted. He asked whether a formal transfer system exists for these categories, and if not, whether one will be established, also highlighting that Technical Assistants serving since 2014 have not received officer-grade placements and continue to perform combined duties.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, my second supplementary relates to DOs and MAs. Although there is a surplus of Development Officers in Jaffna, those appointed to Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi, Vavuniya and Mannar have long served far from home, some 250–300 km away, while transfers within adjacent Jaffna DS areas are given. Similarly, Technical Assistants serving since 2014 in Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and Mannar have not received officer-grade placements and continue combined duties, unable to transfer home. Is there a transfer system for DO, MA, and Technical Assistants? If not, will one be created?
