Hon. Susantha Punchinilame,— To ask the Prime Minister and Minister of Policy Planning, Economic Affairs, Child, Youth and Cultural Affairs,—
(a) Is he aware that the employment of the officers who held posts in the staffs of the Ministers and Deputy Ministers of the previous government had been terminated with effect from 09.01.2015?
(b) Will he state—
(i) the reason for not paying the monthly salaries, overtime payments and transport allowances of the ministerial staff up to the above date on which their services had been terminated; and
(ii) the reasons for not providing the relevant benefits to the said officers in spite of the fact that they have properly applied to obtain the benefits of the Employment Provident Fund and the reasons for not even accepting the applications of the aforesaid officers belonging to the then Ministry of Economic Development ?
(c) Will he also state—
(i) the reasons for the negligence of the responsibility by the ministry currently handling the subject under a situation where many of the ministries have abolished time to time, since the confirmation of service period and provision of history sheets by the former ministries in which these secretaries have previously served were requirements for the formulation of pensions of the said secretaries who have completed a service period of 05 years as per the Pensions Circular No.06/2011 with relevance to the payment of Pensions for the secretaries to the ministerial staff; and
(ii) whether action will be taken to resolve the above mentioned issues early?
