“Increasing women’s representation in the national human resource force is important. This will be a vital factor in future growth of foreign investments, new technological development and growth of the ICT sector. I am confident that national development can be accelerated by empowering youth with new skills and new opportunities needed for the modern era” : Sajith Premadasa Leader of the Opposition
Mr Premadasa made these remarks at a discussion he had yesterday (22/9/2022) with Graduates and Project Officers who had been terminated from employment in an unfair manner.
Mr Premadasa explained that it is important to conduct needs assessment and support individuals based on real needs, instead of providing hand outs free of charge.
He pointed out that Sri Lanka can be developed by a result – oriented and committed workforce. For this, it is necessary to think and step out of the box and take decisions focusing on priorities.
Mr Premadasa maintained that he will personally stand up for the rights of those who had lost their jobs unfairly. He gave an assurance that the Samagi Janabalawegaya will ensure that all are treated fairly and justice will be metted towards those who lost their jobs due to political revenge.
