Sunny Side Up: Harin announces retirement age

06 Nov 2021

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Harin Fernando made a unique announcement last week when he pledged to retire from politics at the age of 60, similar to the country’s public and private sector workers.  The MP, who is now 43 years old, also handed over an affidavit in this regard to Opposition and SJB Leader Sajith Premadasa. This took place during the opening of the SJB head office in the Wattala electorate last Monday (1).  Fernando told the public that he had decided to retire from politics at the age of 60 in order to pave the way for the younger generation to enter the political system.  “The retirement age in both the private and public sectors of Sri Lanka is 60 years. I firmly believe that the rationale behind the retirement age being 60 years in both sectors is to give the younger generation opportunities to contribute to the development of the country and provide opportunities for new generations to formulate effective policies relevant to ever-changing environments,” he noted. “As politicians, we too must retire at a certain point of time after our effective contribution and service to the country, and pave the way for the younger generation to enter the political system to promote its development, which would then enable our country to keep up with dynamic economic, social, and political environments in the future,” Fernando added.
