Thurairasa Ravikaran said applicants who passed two rounds of interviews have waited more than six years for appointments despite over 600 vacancies, blaming the delay on government departmental failings. He noted that many had served for long periods as volunteers and were formally assessed, and asked the Deputy Minister to ensure a pathway for their appointment.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, this delay is due to government departments’ failings. These applicants twice faced interviews, passed, and have waited over six years, while 600+ vacancies persist. Such delays erode public trust. Many served long periods as volunteers and were duly assessed. Please ensure a pathway to appoint them.
