Dayasiri Jayasekara raised a Point of Order regarding recruitment to the Management Assistants’ Service, noting that over 5,000 vacancies remain while recruitment procedures are delayed or inconsistent. He stated that only candidates scoring above 116 marks have been recruited despite the previous practice of appointing those scoring above 100, and requested a fair arrangement to appoint all candidates with marks of 100 or more.

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order. With your leave, Hon. Minister, may I ask a question regarding the Management Assistants’ Service? There is a major crisis: vacancies exceed 5,000, yet recruitment procedures are not properly organized. Some candidates have left service or the country. Currently only those scoring over 116 marks were recruited, whereas the practice was to recruit all above 100. I respectfully request a fair solution so that candidates scoring 100+ are also appointed.
