Presently government cannot recruit any employees. But government had broken the condition laid by the Treasury. The new recruits will very positively work for the government . Waste of funds .

Nihal S Thursday, 09 May 2024 03:21 AM

Both the President and PM as well as Ministers are there. Why this needs to be a such high profile event at tax payers money? Visibility leading to the elections!

Lion Thursday, 09 May 2024 04:57 AM

This man is trying all the tricks in the book to gain votes in his every move which will fail certainly.

Ram Thursday, 09 May 2024 05:38 AM

2000 appointed to public service just before elections is highly questionable. Rules must be made preventing this kind of treating at least 6 months before an election

Have fun. You can not fool everyone every day.

Ranil has no rights and/or authority to award appointments to new recruits of GSs, as he is an illegal leader appointed unconstitutional way under the US PLOT ARAGALAYA.
