The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
The Prime Minister clarified that the 2024 disclosure of 2019 examination results was made through an RTI request and was not inconsistent with her earlier answer. Regarding Development Officers, she said the Government is awaiting court processes and Public Service Commission guidance, seeking to expedite long-pending cases with the Justice Minister’s advice, and will resolve the issue under the teacher service constitution. She also stated that a report on GWUIM has been requested and that action will be taken according to its recommendations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, there is no contradiction in my answer; the 2024 disclosure of the 2019 exam results was through an RTI application.
¶ 02 On Development Officers: I have explained multiple times in this House—we are proceeding carefully in line with ongoing court processes and recommendations of the Public Service Commission. Past interventions caused inequities; we are working, with advice of the Minister of Justice, to obtain dates on long-pending cases and conclude them swiftly, then resolve the matter lawfully under the teacher service constitution and PSC guidance.
¶ 03 On GWUIM: I requested the report; we will act according to its recommendations. These issues did not arise under our tenure, but we will correct them.
