The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe
Mahinda Jayasinghe said earlier statements had caused public confusion about salary increases and that the Government had corrected the record. He stated that an Office Work Assistant’s salary would rise by Rs. 8,250 over 20 months up to January 2027, and rejected opposing claims that no increase was being granted or that the figures cited were accurate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 On day one, what you said created public confusion. We corrected it. Some try to spread the notion that “nothing is being increased.” We clearly stated that an Office Work Assistant’s salary will increase by Rs. 8,250 over 20 months—up to January 2027. Therefore, your statistics are wrong.
