Have they received authority from the Ministry of Local Government to grant Silankan jobs to Foreigners ? I firmly believe that it is serious breach of the Srilankan Constitution.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">This contract is for \u00a0jobs\u00a0as\u00a0 Parking Attendants, and\u00a0 does not require High Educational Qualifications, and is a low remuneration job.\u00a0 There are thousands of Boys and Girls of low income Family households who are awaiting for such jobs for a livelihood. Some of them go without a meal for a day. They have no income at all to meet daily needs. What needs to be addressed immediately is as follows.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">a)&#8230;..Who is the Officer in the Municipality who took the Final decision, to award this contract to an Indian Company, who Charges Rs.50.00 for even TWO MINUTES Parking.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">b)&#8230;..Has this Officer looked around to see if he could find Emloyees within \u00a0the Municipality to handle this Administration of Parking Attendants. If not, Why not ?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">c)&#8230;..This Officer\u00a0appears to have \u00a0no Organisational Skills, or was he attracted by a quick reward for awarding the contract ? If so, HE should be moved to another lower seat.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">d)&#8230;..This Job is not a temporary Job, but a Permanent day to day Job, and as such the Municipality should absorb them as Permanent Parking Attendants, with all facilities. This is EMPLOYMENT.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">e)&#8230;..WE HAVE TO EMPLOY SRILANKANS AND NOT INDIANS.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">It is my point of view that this Contract to an Indian Company, should be withdrawn immediately, and local Boys and Girls employed. Iam astonished to know that an INDIAN COMPANY is in Srilanka as an Employment Agent, and it would be interesting to know whether this Company is registered with the Registrar of Companies, and in what Capacity of Services rendered is reflected. If the Company is acting over and above their mandate, they should be asked to leave the Country immediately.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;\">OVER TO THE MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR HIS RESPONSE.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susantha Wijesinghe \u00a0The Colombo Municipality has granted\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a\u00a0 Parking Fees contract to an INDIAN COMPANY.\u00a0 Does this Municipality have Authority to give Jobs to Foreigners ?
