All the money these government servants receive are innocent tax payers money or IMF/world bank loan.Proper investigation should be done under Ajith Nivard Cabraal time about approval of foreign currency under Anti-money laundering laws. The government should establish proper retirement scheme for general public and overseas workers rather than politicians. Learn from Malaysia how they dealt with previous regime. Every one has a car should be investigated about the sources of income.

Gazette looks confusing. Can someone explain it please especially, why a governor appointed before 1.1.2015 will receive pension after 1.1.2015. So, if a governor was appointed in 2000 and retired in 2012 has he to wait until 1.1.2015 to get the pension. It makes no sense. Please explain

I think they have EPF. So there is no need for a pension.

CB Governor's role is a govt. employment and should be entitled to a pension like any other govt. employment. Why allow pension to MP's when that is not an employment?

Hmmm ... An interesting development considering Nande's quest to increase his own salary right in the middle of this crippling recession.

Nandalal should also issue a gazette rescinding the 70% salary increases given by him to CBSL staff and the perks he enjoys thanks to Cabrall elevating the Governor's position to that of a Cabinet Minister. He should also pay for the the utilities of the official bungalow!. The lowest level employee of CBSL is paid more than a Teacher, Doctor or even the President! He skilfully manipulated the system and his friendships with the Dr Harsha to get the salary hike.

How about limit the 500 percent better EPF equivalent the Central Banker have Thursday, 03 October 2024 02:19 PM

The perks of the Central Bank staff are too much. Recently the fool Governor tried to get 75% pay rise., while giving long term staff much much less pay rise. Which itself was too much in terms of what pay increase public gets. The EPF and ETF growth was curtailed by Central Bank staff, but the Central Bank staff have their own special superannuation scheme, which has not limits on growth and increase like public EPF and ETF.

Oh great! We saved billions of dollars from this move. How stupid these people are? Now even well qualified experienced professional will not join as Governor since there are more attractive offers are available in the market for such professionals. It is pity to even read some so called educated people's comments.

Has the requirement for Registration for Income Tax forgotten ? Has the requirement to declare Assets by parliamentarians not required now ?

The problem with Sri Lanka is that we have so many short-sighted mediocre people. They don't have the intelligence to understand that the top achievers in a profession have to be valued at a level commiserate with the world index. That is why only the mediocre remain in Sri Lanka.

KEEP PRAYING FOR ANURA/NPP AND THEIR ADVISORS TO STAY THE COURSE WITHOUT STRAYING. Thursday, 03 October 2024 07:09 PM

WE WILL SOON SEE HONEST, LOYAL, COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE COME IN TO SERVE NOT LOOKING FOR A PENSION AT THE MOMENT, THEY WILL COME TO SERVE THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE. WE HAVE MANY AROUND, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PUSHED AWAY AND THEIR HELP NOT SOUGHT BY THE PREVIOUS GOVT'S. GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AND GUIDE THEM OUT TO SERVE THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE.

I won't mind paying best salaries for the best. But not for idiots. Current governor is one of the best. He should be given the best benefits.

NPP always focuses on petty things to boost their chances in the upcoming election.

This appears to be a quest to increase immensely the perks of the Present Governor although it appears to be a hit on Cabral's perk. Cabral took over as Governor for the second time resigning as an MP, on the special condition that he should get Pensions from Central Bank. A subjective decision which benefitted previous incumbents like Business Magnate Amarasuiya. I do not think Amarasuriya would have opted to receive the Pension. Even Mahendran would have got entitlement under this rescinded provision. What is the position of Deputy Governors - New Posts created? There is ample chance for this gazette notification being challenged for legality in Courts , if any affected surviving parties are interested.

how very thoughtful yet all other extravagant unwarranted luxury previledges at taxpayers' a/c too should be immediately withdrawn and the colonial bank act scrapped and replaced with a new current socialist bank act.. Not a thought has been given to improving the lot of FD depositors whose monies are used for these luxuries
