The Hon. G.G. Ponnambalam
Hon. G.G. Ponnambalam said staff in the two LRC offices serving the North and East face unfair transfers requiring travel of around 450 kilometres because there are no other offices in those districts. He argued that this practice reflects discriminatory policies of previous governments and called on the Government to end it immediately to establish its credibility.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I am winding up, Madam.
¶ 02 The people who work in those two LRC offices and belong to districts in the North and East must travel about 450 kilometres when they transfer because there are no other offices there. Is that fair? In every way, the practices of previous governments must be stopped. These are fundamentally racist ideological problems that have evolved. This Government must change this practice immediately to establish its credibility. Thank you.
