The Hon. (Dr.) Madhura Senevirathna
Hon. (Dr.) Madhura Senevirathna said acting principals serving in difficult schools, including in Monaragala’s Siyambalanduwa and Etimale areas, have not received justice despite earlier appeals and parliamentary attention. He noted that, as former Chief Minister of Uva, he had granted them an allowance and urged that the issue be treated sensitively.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 There are no border villages in those divisions, but we accept there are difficult schools even there. In Monaragala’s Siyambalanduwa and Etimale, too, there are acting principals. They deserve justice. We could not accomplish this earlier, even under former Minister Susil Premajayantha. Acting principals even came to Parliament; still no justice was delivered. As former Chief Minister of Uva, I was the first to grant them an allowance. If that was wrong, I should go to jail — fortunately there was no legal challenge.
¶ 02 This is a sensitive issue.
