| State officials responsible for success of state policy - Minister Attanayake Sigiriya group correspondent " The successful implementation of the state polices is the sole responsibility of the state officials. Sluggishness, incompetency and unproductivity seem to loom around in the horizon of a section of the administration. This we termed as bureaucracy - or uninterest. This is the cancerous virus that makes any government unpopular, and also get people fallen into abyss of hardships." So said the Minister of Central Region Development Tissa Attanayake at a meeting held Hataraliadda Council area in the villages of Pattipola Mudugammana and Dodamgolla where an Electrical Extension Programme was launched. He said our development plan is well mapped. Voyaging from one city of development to other is well linked. Tokyo aid conference was mainly for money for our development. The Prime Minister's Chinese tour is another aid package for our investment promotions. This is typical in our development plan. But they have to be implemented through government officials. But the wave of protest rallies, and meetings that seem to be mushrooming by an organized radical group to mislead the public has to be understood, the minister said. Number of manpower lost due to strike is a blow to our economy. Can our foreign aid so earned be wasted in this manner, the minister queried? The Minister said this government knows the importance of the state employees. Their role of responsibilities. So as to keep the state employees above board, the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe appointed a Public Service Commission. The uprising of the people against the saboteurs will not be far away if the government servants come to their senses, said the Minister. |
