Telecom mega deal (01)
Tuesday, 02 June 2015
The Sri Lanka Telecom has become one of the most corrupt institutions. Top officials of SLT enjoy the best of luxuries while employing innocent youths in slavery for the past 15 years through a sub-contractor by the name Human Capital Solutions, which is supplying labour while paying them the cheapest possible wages, for the covering of responsibilities that should have been carried out by SLT employees.
Top officials of SLT play with the lives of these innocent youths thinking that they had inherited the institution from their parents. In the past, massive financial frauds and other irregularities had taken place at SLT.
The more than 200 SLT engineers, who earlier claimed that giving permanency to Manpower workers would endanger the institution’s financial stability, got the CO to increase their travelling allowance from Rs. 17,500 to Rs. 70,000 last week. Given below are the relevant details.
SLT Manpower’s head is Ranjith Rubasinghe, also the present chairman of Mobitel, who had campaigned to make Mahinda Rajapaksa the president. He is swindling millions of rupees of money belonging to Mobitel and committing massive financial frauds, while cunningly luring the SLT hierarchy and preventing Manpower workers from getting permanency in their jobs. The president’s brother Kumarasinghe Sirisena, the new SLT chairman, and its CO Dileepa Wijesundara, who parachuted into the institution on the shoulders of the Manpower workers and ‘Yaha Paalanaya’, do not seem to be aware of these misdeeds. By now, SLT has become one of the most corrupt institutions.
All Sri Lankan citizens should condemn this exploitation of labourers at a socially and nationally responsible institution like the SLT, where the top officials immerse themselves in the best of luxuries. In order for a just society, all the peoples should join together on behalf of the Manpower workers.
