The opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) party has established a special unit to investigate arbitrary transfers being carried out at the state and provincial council levels.
Issuing a statement, the SJB said that it has come to light that there is a systematic program of transferring government officials between service stations on unacceptable and illogical grounds across various state and provincial council sectors.
The SJB pointed out that it is concerning that the government, which came to power with a promise to ensure the independence of the public service, is engaging in such actions.
Stating that local government elections remain pending and are scheduled to be held soon, while cooperative society elections are currently underway, the SJB alleged that it is evident that this program is being implemented as a targeted effort ahead of these elections, leading to an unprecedented level of politicization in the public service.
The SJB further urged the government and provincial council authorities to immediately suspend all arbitrary transfers being carried out at the state and provincial council levels. (Newswire)
