The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake raised a supplementary question about the appointment of the Provincial Commissioner of Revenue in Uva, noting that the post is usually filled by experienced Inland Revenue officers but is currently held temporarily by an officer from the Accountants’ Service. He requested that the vacancy be gazetted and a proper permanent appointment made promptly, given that qualified officers have applied and the matter has gone to court.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: Typically, those appointed as Provincial Commissioners of Revenue are experienced officers from the Inland Revenue Department. In Uva, however, an officer from the Accountants’ Service has been appointed. You say it is temporary pending proper recruitment. I request that since there is a vacancy now, and qualified permanent officers in the Department and Provincial Council have applied and even gone to court, you proceed to Gazette and make a proper appointment expeditiously.
