Salary Hike at current context is the need so 10,000 is a must and be frank about it and forgetting politics.

Its easy said that done when you are in opposition. While understanding that the cost of living has gone up . Increasing Salaries will only cause inflation and reduce the real value of Money . The Government should not print anymore money to finance deficits and appoint an independent currency board with educated economists and financial experts to decide on this process without interference . Further to this by eliminating wastage, corruption and the world record holidays in Sri Lanka will be in a better position to drive down cost further .

govt says per capita income is now 2000 dollars. that means a family of five is making rs 1 lakh a month. so what are these UNP and trade unions jokers saying?

heh .. from these comments i can really see either there are political goons paid by the government to put comments on these articles or there are people who are benefited by this so called "development" dosent want extra 10000 bucks...

Were fortunate that there is no 8th world countries or something way below the 3rd world countries...

Please speak for your selves, your loved ones (cant help if your loved ones are politicians ) and do something about it...

when someone finally speaks of something that ACTUALLY would benefit if materialized help it...

Is the Hon Perera MP also going to say how this rise will be funded? The over-bloated public sector is already a drain on the economy, further more the public servants pay no tax. If the so called "rich" countries are cutting down expenditure why should Sri-Lanka mortgage its future by excessively funding the public sector. Focus on efficiency related pay instead and pay the good public servants well!

Mr.Joseph Michael, can you please tell our leader to pay the last two month wages of Sirikotha employees before asking pay hikes for the country. We are indebted now. Charity begins at HOME! - Sirikotha employees.
