The Hon. Eranga Weeraratne
Eranga Weeraratne rejected the claim that digitalization of government services would eliminate public sector jobs. He argued that digitalization is intended to reduce queues and improve the speed of public service delivery, and cautioned against misleading the public on the issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, the Hon. Member is trying to paint a picture that digitalization will eliminate public sector jobs. That is completely wrong. Today, there are long queues for government services. Digitalization will reduce queues and speed up service, not terminate jobs. He is creating a false image; the public should not be misled.
