There are around 10,000 surplus graduates in the state service after
appointments were made in Kurunegala, Matara and Ratnapura districts.
The ministry is planning to appoint them to their nearest districts
according to requirements, the minister said.
Seneviratne was addressing a ceremony held to distribute permanent
appointment letters among graduates who completed their one year
training period in state service.
"Experience in dealing with the public is of top most priority in the
government service. New recruits should be honest and serve anywhere
they are appointed. They should develop their skills and serve the
public in both rural and urban areas. This will help them to become
skillful government officers," the minister said.
Government officers are a group who have earned public respect since
the past. They have a major responsibility to serve the public and solve
their issues in a peaceful manner. These officers should know how to
serve the public in a correct manner and protect the dignity of the
government service, Minister Seneviratne said.
Ratnapura District Provincial Council Member Salitha Karunaratne,
Public Administration and Home Affairs Ministry Additional Secretary
Jagath Chandrasiri and Ratnapura District Secretary Sunil Kannangara
were also present.
