Govt.'s state sector woes

CHAIRMAN of Airport and Aviation Services Sri Lanka Ltd., Air Chief Marshal Harsha Abeywickrama (retd) resigned from his position yesterday.

- 

This is days after the chairperson of the National Women's Commission, Attorney-at-Law Ramani Jayasundara, stepped down from her position.These are just two of the high-profile resignations of persons appointed to high positions by the NPP Government who have decided to make an early exit. There have been numerous other such resignations in the past few months and while no official reasons have been given, the inside information is that interference with the work of these institutions led to the resignation.

Those who have been appointed to such positions have been handpicked by those in Government and are competent to take on the responsibilities given to them with all seriousness and with the best of intentions.
