The Hon. Kins Nelson
Hon. Kins Nelson raised concerns that prison officers perform dangerous duties comparable to police officers but receive lower pay. Citing a recent shooting of a former prison officer, he asked whether the Government would ensure fair salaries for prison officers on par with the police.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: Prison officers, like police officers, perform highly risky duties, yet they are paid less than police. Recently, a former prison officer was shot in the head. Their job is very dangerous. Will you ensure a fair salary on par with the police?
