854/’19
Hon. (Dr.) Jayampathy Wickramaratne,— To ask the Minister of Finance,—
(a) Is he aware that a salary anomaly has been created in the pension of retired public servants —
(i) due to increase of the basic salary of public servants by Rs.10,000/- by adding to their basic salary the special allowance of Rs. 10,000/- that had been paid from January 2016; and
(ii) due to the fact that the aforesaid amount has not been added to the pension of the public servants who retired before 2016?
(b) Will he accept the importance of —
(i) removing the aforesaid salary anomaly as that anomaly further widens due the increase of salaries of public servants once again through the budget proposals;
(ii) preventing the retired public servants from engaging in constant struggles for getting salary anomalies removed; and
(iii) establishment of a permanent procedure to add to the pension of the retired public servants a reasonable percentage of the salary increase granted to public servants when salaries of public servants are increased?
(c) Will he inform this House—
(i) whether necessary steps will be taken to remove the aforesaid salary anomaly;
(ii) if so, of the date on which such steps will be taken; and
(iii) of the percentage in which the salary anomaly will be removed?
(d) If not, why?
