State Minister of Foreign Employment Promotions and Market Diversification Piyankara Jayaratne said the list of appointments to foreign missions made by the previous Government was already sent to the President’s Office, and the necessary changes would be done accordingly in the future.
He told The Morning that the new list that was sent to the President’s Office was made by the previous Government, and the new Government did not make any changes to the list prepared by them.
Nevertheless, the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) recently decided to cut down the expenses of their foreign missions as a measure to support the Government, which is currently going through economic crises as a result of Covid-19.
Speaking to The Morning, SLBFE General Manager W.M.V. Wansekera said measures had already been taken by the Bureau to reduce additional expenses of the staff, such as travelling and other expenses.
Labour Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva recently said the SLBFE employees working at foreign missions should be repatriated, as around 120 employees were staying in different countries without work as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Furthermore, he said the SLBFE is spending over Rs. 970 million a year to maintain these employees and since the SLBFE is currently facing financial difficulties, the additional expenses should be cut down.List of appointments to SL missions overseas sent to President's Office
