Rupavahini in serious financial crisis

Nov 27, 2016

Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation is in a serious financial crisis, say SLRC sources. The situation is such that it is unable to pay the salaries of its staff on time.

The SLRC is finding it difficult to pay the December bonus and the medical examination allowance in January. Although the institution is having a chairman and a director general loyal to the present regime, their inefficient and disorganized administration is causing its collapse, says the staff.

There has been internal opposition to the administration that misleads both the government and the SLRC staff, but that has not resulted in any change in the situation.

Despite the discussions that have taken place with the president, prime minister, subject minister and the secretary, no solutions are yet forthcoming. The staff says top officials of the government too, should be blamed for this situation.
