This is a wonderful move by the President and a\nmost effective way of implementing a “MONITORING SYSTEM” to follow-up\non all decisions and instructions given by the president\/taken at the Gama\nSamaga Pilisandara (Dialogue with the Village) meetings\/discussions since put\nin place since the later part of 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also a great opening of opportunities to the\nnew young parliamentarians of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and PM Mahinda\nRajapaksa’s government to directly get engaged with the “people” and\nmake sure that the President’s “Policy decisions and Development Agendas”\nare carried out\/implemented by the government officials\/government institutions\nand all public servants from Grama Niladharis (Grama Sevakas) level to Ministry\nSecretaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the implementation of the “Gamasamaga\nPilisandara (Dialogue with the Village) was launched, the undersigned had\nadvocated through many comments, the need for such a “monitoring\nset-up”<\/strong> in order to make the decisions “proactive” and as a\ntool to weed out the “BLUFFS” many of the Government Servants and\npublic officials tell the president during these gatherings\/meetings to “COVER-UP”<\/strong>\nthe “REAL ISSUES”<\/strong> of the people of the villages, the livewire\nof our “SOCIO-ECONOMIC and SOCIAL NETWORK” of our\n“maathruboomiya”. They are the humble voters who voted President\nGatabaya Rajapaksa and this government to power in November 2019, Presidential\nElections and the General Elections in August 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this Political administrative machinery has\nbeen set-up, it is necessary that objectives are achieved both administratively\nand politically at the village level. The said Task Force should set-up a “Monitoring\nCenter”<\/strong>, Digitize all data of the problems presented and solutions\nsuggested\/decided by the President at all the gatherings that had taken place\nalready and will be taking place in the future and “CODIFI” them in a\n“DATABASE” with detailed information professionally, with name of\nvillage, district, name of government servant\/officials present, the\ndepartments and satutory boards answerable for the issues raised, instructions\ngiven and “REMEDIES EXPECTED”<\/strong> by the President and the\ntimeline and target dates issued for completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help the President’s team of young\npoliticians led by Hon. Namal Rajapaksa to properly “FOLLOW THROUGH”\nand maintain a track record of the progress being made. By doing so, “NO”\ngovernment servant\/public servant can “FALL BACK” on his\nresponsibilities or “BLUFF” the President and the Government and or\n“DEPRIVE” the poor masses of the solutions they had “CRIED\nOUT” at these “Gamasamaga Pilisandara”\nmeetings\/discussions\/gatherings for which the President had given\/provided\nresolutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
