The Hon. Lal Premanath
The Member asked what measures the Government is considering to address transport difficulties faced by staff in Divisional Secretariats, particularly field and development officers in remote areas who struggle to report on time due to limited public transport. He specifically sought the Government’s position on establishing or strengthening a common vehicle pool for these officers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary is this:
¶ 02 The new Government is taking swift steps to resolve issues of senior and executive officers serving in Divisional Secretariats. Many other staff also serve in these areas. Especially in remote villages, due to difficulties in using public transport, some cannot report to work on time. For such officers, especially field and development officers, what is your current view on a common vehicle pool or strengthening such a pool?
