Minister and Cabinet Spokesman Rajitha Senaratne said he had warned of an impending railway strike at the recent Cabinet meeting when Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera objected to the Cabinet proposal brought in to resolve the salary anomalies of the railway employees.

He told at the weekly Cabinet briefing that the Cabinet Paper to address the salary anomalies of the railway employees had been brought in long time ago but it was delayed due to the objection of the Finance Ministry. (Diana Udayangani)

Who brought it without consulting finance ministry? Since FM should look for fund to accomplish this task.

What a joke! Just because there is going to be a strike the salaries to be increased? Now I get it. It's because Rajitha is so scared the GMOA is on internal strike. Rajitha does not take any action against GMOA.

So you seem happy that the public are suffering while you enjoy life to the maximum. remember the days of your rule are numbered and hope we will never see politicians like you again.

Correction of anomalies create further anomalies in other sectors. It is like taxing Doctors on a different method.

Yes, the Finance Minster is busy regarding the salary increment for MPs and manipulating the Duty for Vehicles.

when the MP's enjoy massive perks and salaries ,it is obvious that others too feel they have a right to demand higher salaries no one in this country gets a pension working for 5 years whereas these MPs do get once they serve for 5 years
