Instead of delaying, perform duties quickly

Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena adivised new appointees to the public service to take special care to avoid unfair decisions in public service and instructed them to work efficiently and quickly instead of procrastinating their duties. He pointed out these facts at the function to handover appointment letters to 250 new recruits who passed the limited competitive examination in the services of Sri Lanka Administrative Service –Grade3, Sri Lanka Scientific Service –Grade 3, Management Service Supra Grade, Sri Lanka Government Librarian Service –Grade 3 on 19.02.2024 (today) at Temple Trees with the patronage of Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.

Speaking on this occasion the Prime Minister stated that

“To all of you who have qualified based on your talent and seniority, our happiness and blessings are united with yours. The responsibility of public service is more serious than that of an ordinary private company.

From the moment you enter the public service, you all join the service on behalf of the country along with the public service departments, institutions and the entire public service. I would like to remind you that all tasks in the journey to fulfil that unique responsibility have an important part of preparation. When we go to a discussion or to assist the public, there must be basic preparation. The information for that should be collected. The task of preparation should be started as soon as possible rather than postponing the work. President Ranil Wickremesinghe, committed himself to making the year 2024 a year of progress in development and presented a budget document. We expect the success of this program today to implement it. The rate of the economic development, which has been below zero, transformed into a plus rate. This standard has been reached with the support of the people of the country, the government service, and the farmers who do not belong to the government service.
