A A A

Parliament today adopted a resolution providing for a special salary scale and other allowances for Bribery Commission's Director General A.A.P. Dilrukshi Dias Wickramasinghe to be paid effective from February, last year.

The Cabinet approval has been given for this motion. It was taken up in the House today with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe moving it. The motion says that her monthly salary scale is placed on par with that of the Additional Solicitor General, a post she held previously before assuming duties in the new position. Alongside, she is entitled to the telephone and fuel allowances on par with rates designated for the Ministry Secretaries.

The salary hike and other allowances, announced in the motion, have been affected from February 12, 2015.(Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera)

    Very good for this approval as a deserving case.Hope the DG will further improve performance of the Commission.

    Manuel Benjamin Thursday, 22 September 2016 10:08 AM

    Yes she is rewarded as she is honest like our President

    J Palitha Thursday, 22 September 2016 10:07 AM

    Why not during MR's regime, former President himself had done this to so many of his relations.

    How much? Can she live without resort to bribe?

    Kiris Baba Amaray Thursday, 22 September 2016 10:05 AM

    No problem she deserves the salary increment, but it is important that she should send all the J/O - culprits behind bars.

    German Jacob Thursday, 22 September 2016 10:02 AM

    Yes I agree with you. She should produce all the Financial criminals in the previous regime and file cases and send them behind bars. Every inch of illegal income they earned should be transferred to the Treasury.

    Satisfied law enforcement officers is a key to proper law implementation; but then again 'satisfied' is a 'relative' term.

    Well done! The Bribery Commissioner's Office has to deal with people accused of illegally acquiring huge sums of money. Those who are desperate to escape the charges would resort to any means, including tempting the officers. Protecting these officers is a serious duty.

    To get her to perform better, a salary increment, isn't it a bribe.?

    Lawry Thursday, 22 September 2016 09:09 AM

    Why not if you were underpaid? You would ask the same.

    Johan Wednesday, 21 September 2016 06:35 PM

    Well it is good .but she must follow all financial criminals from A to Z and must find ways to recover the money,land value ,buidling value etc earned in improper manner and return them to the treasury

    Harith Wednesday, 21 September 2016 06:09 PM

    Never heard a worker getting a salary increment back dated 17 months.

    Veda-mama Wednesday, 21 September 2016 05:11 PM

    Congratulations..... You very well deserve it for being an honest, unbiased and a courageous lady.

    gdj100 Wednesday, 21 September 2016 05:08 PM

    Hmmm wonder what's the remarkable job she did to get the increase with arrears

    karigalan Wednesday, 21 September 2016 04:44 PM
