President urges public servants to fulfill responsibilities

 

President Ranil Wickremesinghe has urged public officials to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to them, instead of creating conflicts.

Speaking at the Nuwara Eliya District Development Committee meeting held at the Nuwara Eliya District Secretariat Friday morning (22 Dec.), Wickremesinghe emphasized that several district-level issues are those that can be resolved by the relevant government officials themselves, and that there is no need for him, nor a minister, to visit the said area in order to do so.

It is not necessary for a President, not even a Minister to spend money and come from Colombo to talk about these minor issues.
Therefore, it is necessary for government officials to properly fulfill the responsibilities assigned to them without engaging in a tug of war,” he stated in this regard.
