Thank God that they relished that 95% of the staff is over manned. I told this many times and I also predicted that about Srl Lanka Going bankrupt. Crame the book and pass more exams you stupide Sri Lankes.
Brother Ranjith thank you for your post which I agree 100%. That said, you have to be little bit gender sensitive. 95% is ‘over-WOMEN’ too. Exceptions are teaching (they are on strike) and angels in the Health sector. At the same time the authorities should remove dead-wood and keep an efficient skeleton staff.
So, do all the so-called ‘non-essential’ workers stay at home and draw the salary?
No wonder the PM is called ‘RW-Churchill” !!!!!
This decision was reached by the Cabinet of Ministers after considering various concerns including the FUEL crisis. They can work from home too. Government entities are ‘over-staffed’ and even they come to work what they do? Computer games, chatting, hanging on to mobile phones, etc., Gradually in the long term they should be removed by early retirement and/or freezing their salaries/increments.
