Rosy probes sexual harassment at Colombo Municipal Council (CMC)
Colombo’s Mayor Rosy Senanayake has decided to appoint a committee to look into allegations of sexual harassment of female employees of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) after the issue was raised at a Council meeting this week.
The issue was raised by Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) member Shamila Gonawela who said that at least ten CMC women workers had complained they had been subjected to harassment by senior male employees and that urgent action was needed. Mayor Senanayake said the matter had been brought to her attention and she had written to Western Province Governor Hemakumar Nanayakkara and also decided to appoint a committee to look into the allegations. She vowed that disciplinary action would be taken against those who were found guilty of harassing the woman employees.
