Public servants should be delivering service commensurate with their salary: President

Date:

In the uncertainty of receiving foreign aid, Sri Lanka should commit itself to finding solutions to the current crisis, said President Ranil Wickremesinghe, addressing the District Development Council of Anuradhapura.

He stressed that no one can stand idly by anymore and every must work together for the sake of the country. The public servants, in particular, should be delivering a service commensurate with the salaries they receive, and anyone failing to serve must resign, he warned.

The President further noted that any failure from his end will also drive him to meet the same fate and that should he fail to serve the people will oust him as well.

Public servants at the village level, in particular, have a big role to play and special attention has to be paid to their delivery of services, Wickremesinghe noted.
