The Hon. Hector Appuhamy
Asked what measures are being taken to address coordination problems affecting the foreign employment target of about 140,000 workers for the year. He said inconsistencies among embassy, SLBFE, recruitment agency and ministry officials regarding job categories, training requirements and wage alignment, along with insufficient agreements and guidance, could prevent the target from being achieved.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: Foreign employment is vital. You have a target of about 140,000 this year. However, there seem to be inconsistencies among some mission or agency officials about categories and required training aligning with wages. Coordination among embassies, SLBFE, recruitment agencies and the Ministry is lacking. Without proper agreements and guidance, we cannot reach the target. What solutions are you implementing?
