Sri Lankan people blame only the political authority for destroying Sri Lanka. But 75% of the work of destroying the country has been done by 80% of the executive officers of the public service. The executive officers of Sri Lanka carried out underhanded transactions including fraud and corruption from the corruption acts carried out by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government.
Mahinda even created a special salary scale for those who continued to make him king by attacking Mahinda. In 2006, Mahinda increased the salary of the general government employees by thousands while raising thousands of salaries.
Mahinda also gave them all the privileges that should not be given, including duty-free vehicles, telephone expenses, and fuel expenses. Mahinda destroyed the country with the wind. About 80% of the executive class officials worked against the good governance government in 2015 and made the public hate that government. They made Gotabhaya king. What the public in this country does not know is that it is not the politicians but the public servants who are responsible for all the injustices and misdeeds that happen to them.
However, the class that destroyed this country is on sick leave tomorrow (8). A protest has been organized in Colombo at 10.00 am and trade unions belonging to 18 government services are going to participate.
The main demands are to force the government to solve the promotion problem affecting the executive officers of the government departmental services, to remove the cabinet decision to pay the monthly salary of the officers of the government staff services after the due date and to remove the injustice done to the employees due to the tax arrangements at the time of earning and to implement a fair tax policy. The Joint Committee of Government Executive Officers says that this professional action is carried out based on three.
Even those who have lost the country so far are feeling it now. Having won their demands with public tax money by going on strike, are they going on strike saying “Our demands will be met with public tax money”. Apart from that, they have done no service to the tax paying people of this country. If that was the case, Sri Lanka would not have faced such a fate today.
The work of the staff officers shows that they are still unaware of the problems within the country. In order to build the country, they should also feel the difficulties that are not there first. It is a social science lesson.
