Ministry secretary stops Civil Aviation Authority’s Trinco trip!

Ministry secretary stops Civil Aviation Authority’s Trinco trip!

Nov 23, 2016

The ministry secretary has stopped a trip scheduled as an official programme by the Civil Aviation Authority. The event was to take place at a top hotel in Trincomalee at an estimated cost of around Rs. two million. However, it would not have been beneficial for the employees, reports say.

The ministry secretary has stopped the trip which had been planned without his knowledge, and also instructed all institutions coming under the ministry not to plan anything without first informing the ministry. It is ridiculous that the Civil Aviation Authority is acting in an irresponsible manner at a time when top officials of most state institutions are minimizing wastage of funding under the ‘Yahapaalana’ government.
