CTSU against Ex-Officers monitoring procurement at MoE
View(s):The Ceylon Teachers Service Union (CTSU) is opposing a move by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to have retired officers serve in a committee to look into malpractices of procurements, during the tenure of the Education Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam.
CTSU General Secretary Mahinda Jayasinghe said the function belongs to the Auditors and not a function of former officers. He said it was also questionable to call in former retired officers including retired audit officers to conduct investigations, and give them allowances and other payments.
“We believe it may be a move to cover up malpractices or to manipulate the system,” he said.
