Investors keep going to meet officers who run \u00a0various organizations to get various approvals to commence industries and they are \u00a0sent from pillar to post. Treasury officers who are ex officio of Board of Directors are blocking every step proposed by progressive board of directors citing FR and AR \u2018s .<\/p>\n<p>There is not concerted effort by the powerful ministers to streamline functioning of the government bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>Approval of a \u00a0shipyard in Galle Harbour is struck on the trays of state officers .We have contemplated to commence a shipyard outside the harbour to facilitate repairs to Fishing Boats\u00a0 .We have over 10,000 fishing boats ,and no facilities to repair them .This project would have provided many employments to younger generation .When the permission was sought from Galle Municipal council ,we were told to get approvals from CEA,CCD,MEEPA,SLPA ,UDA,Fishery Corporation .It has taken over six months ,SLPA is holding the approval despite the fact that the land is outside the port and no effect in their operations ,Having being in the Industry for\u00a0 many years ,I know many higher officers and yet my influence to expedite the approval has failed.<\/p>\n<p>I kept writing about the problems in the papers and no action taken .This is just one example how inefficient the whole system is.<\/p>\n<p>I do agree with the following statement by the professor but politicians should have a firm leadership to overrule any officer who may delay the development and even get rid of them<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0d86\u0dab\u0dca\u200c\u0da9\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0da7 \u0db8\u0dd4\u0dc4\u0dd4\u0dab\u0daf\u0dd3\u0db8\u0da7 \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0dd3 \u0dad\u0dd2\u0db6\u0dd9\u0db1
