Govt. move to revise pensions: Countrywide protest campaign

08 Jul 2020

A countrywide protest campaign was launched yesterday (8) by the National Organisation of the Rights of Pensioners (NORP) against the Government’s decision pertaining to the revision of pensions. NORP Convener Mahinda Jayasinghe alleged that the Government seems to be deaf with regard to the continuous protests and awareness campaigns conducted countrywide, demanding to withdraw the suspension of the revision of pensions with effect from 1 January 2020. Accordingly, the protests have been held in Colombo, Badulla, Kandy, Galle, Kurunegala, Gampaha, Ratnapura, Matara, Anuradhapura, Kalutara, Matale, Monaragala, Kegalle, and Tangalle yesterday. However, they warned the Government not to fail to respond to their demands and withdraw the decision. Meanwhile, 95 pensioners have complained to the Court of Appeal (CoA) that they have not received a favourable response in respect of their demands to withdraw the suspension of the revision of their pensions, with effect from 1 January 2020. The petitioners have requested the CoA to call for examination the entire record pertaining to the revision of pensions included in the Cabinet decision of 2 January 2020. They have also requested the CoA to issue a writ of certiorari to quash the decision pertaining to the revision of pensions.
