CAA has wasted over Rs.13,000 million as office rent
Following
years of delay, arrangements are made to build an office for Civil
Aviation Authority Naikanda, Katunayake. For the past 15 years the Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA) has used over Rs. 13,000 million of its
revenue to pay the rent of the current building holding its office,
according to internal sources. The current building is owned by a close
associate of the CAA chairman, the sources confirmed.
After inquiring in to the situation, Transport and Civil Aviation
Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva had given the directives to make
necessary arrangements to buy a land to build an office for the CAA. If
the constructions started at least one and half years ago, four floors
would have been completed, said the employees while commenting about the
actions of their top management.
While paying a monthly rental of Rs. 6 million, the CAA has been
successful in earning profitable revenue, being able to pay the Treasury
Rs. 700 million on several occasions. Despite the financial capability
the top management of the CAA has not been interested in building a
permanent office which would have been more economical.
