Hon. M.S. Uthumalebbe raised concern over 13 Sports Officer vacancies in Ampara, noting that Attalaichenai Divisional Secretariat lacks a Sports Officer and therefore cannot hold its divisional sports meet. He argued that the Ampara district sports meet should not proceed before the Attalaichenai divisional meet is held, tabled the programme, and requested that the divisional meet be conducted first.

¶ 01 Thank you. My next supplementary: There are 13 vacancies for Sports Officers in Ampara. District-level sports meets are scheduled, but in the Attalaichenai Divisional Secretariat—covering Attalaichenai, Palamunai, Thiraikeni, Thirukkovil/Deegavapi areas, which are multi-ethnic—there is no Sports Officer, so the divisional sports meet cannot be held. Yet the district meet is being scheduled without holding the Attalaichenai divisional meet. I table the programme. I request that the Attalaichenai divisional meet be held first, and then the Ampara district meet.
