Public administration system in North to be revamped
Ishara MUDUGAMUWA
The Public Administration and Home Affairs Ministry has had
discussions with the UNDP to re-organize the public administration
system of the Northern Province as they did for the Eastern Province.
"It is necessary to have a better provincial administration system with
the resettlement of the IDPs. The Government has planned to complete the
resettlement of IDPs before the end of this year.

"We hope to get financial support from foreign countries for this
project, " said Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister Sarath
Amunugama at a press conference held yesterday at the Ministry.
He said, "there should be a stable procedure in the public
administration system of the country. As a result of not having strict
rules in our administration system we can't do our work properly. For
example when we consider about transfers it is better to do all
transfers only at the end of the year if there is no special reason like
health or punishment transfers."
"We can now see good progress in the public administration system.
More than 70 percent of science degree holders join with the public
administration department now. We hope to hold examinations annually for
degree holders below the age of 28 years and provide job opportunities
for those who get high marks.
"As we have job competition in the country it is our duty to fill all
vacancies in the public administration field," said the Minister.
