The Provincial Councils and the Local Government Ministry have taken a decisive step to provide job security to 10,000 employees who have not been confirmed in Local Government institutions.
State Minister of Provincial Councils and Local Government, Janaka Wakkumbura, announced that casual and contract employees in Local Government bodies will soon be granted permanent employment status.
With approximately 12,000 vacancies currently existing within Local Government institutions, efforts are underway to fill these positions with permanent appointments. The program’s implementation is pending approval from the relevant Ministers.
This move aims to address employment uncertainties and enhance the stability of the workforce within Local Government, ensuring a more secure and reliable public service sector.
