Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva
As Chair of the Committee on Public Finance, Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva raised the unresolved issue of salary parity for the CIABOC Chair and Commission members, noting that although it was accepted in 2023 that their salaries should be comparable to those of the President of the Court of Appeal, subsequent judicial salary increases had not been reflected for CIABOC. He stated that the matter requires parliamentary action rather than action by the Ministry of Finance, and asked whether the Government would honour the 2023 undertaking.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, as Chair of the Committee on Public Finance, I highlighted an issue expecting a response. Since 2023, it has been accepted that the CIABOC Chair and Commission members should have salaries comparable and relative to the President of the Court of Appeal. Court of Appeal judges’ salaries have been raised, but CIABOC Chair and Members’ salaries have not. This requires Parliamentary action under the relevant framework, not the Ministry of Finance. Will the Government honor that 2023 undertaking?
