Colombo, August 21 (Daily Mirror) - The government has announced the launch of a special programme, the 'Seiri Week' aimed at clearing out unnecessary items accumulated in state institutions.

The initiative will take place from September 1 to 14 and seeks to create a clean, safe and health-conscious environment, enabling public officials to carry out their duties more freely and efficiently.

A special circular has been issued by the Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government to facilitate the programme. The directive has been sent to Ministry Secretaries, Provincial Chief Secretaries, department heads, district secretaries and heads of state institutions and statutory bodies.

'Seiri Week' will be conducted in line with the national ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ programme and will focus on identifying essential versus non-essential items and disposing of the latter.

Unbelievable for Ministries to get involved on such basic activity. What were the minor staff and their supervisors doing. - Making tea to sell to their the staff and buy lunches

Be careful. Valuable evidence will be lost too during the cleanup.

Whilst creating a safe environment to work the bad eggs also must be remov ed from the State Institutions for them to work smoothly

Very good move. Also the incompetent officer clutter too needs a clean up, to energise back the public service.
