Political right of the public employee is valid only on the day of polling and they are bound to implement the policy of the new government assigned to the power from the next day, said Minister of Home Affairs Wajira Abeywardhana.

“The public employees are administrated by the Establishment Code. They should have read it very carefully. In January 2015, and August 2015 President Maithripala Sirisena and the new Cabinet led by the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe were given a mandate to rule this country. Now you have to implement these policies”, he added, speaking at a recent meeting.

He also added that under the new government led by President and the Prime Minister, number of development projects have commenced and they will be continued further.
