Executioners deemed to have vacated posts
By Umesh Moramudali -December 15, 2013
The Department of Prisons, which had terminated the services of two recently recruited executioners who had failed to report to duty regularly, is now a dilemma over the vacant positions as it cannot appoint new recruits without the recommendation of the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Commissioner General of Prisons, Chandraratna Pallegama, told Ceylon Today that the two executioners do not report to work regularly.
“We have formally informed them that they are deemed to have vacated their posts,” he said.
He said though the posts of executioners are vacant, the Department of Prisons cannot recruit new people to fill the vacancies as the previous executioners had complained to the Public Service Commission, claiming that they had faced injustice due to certain actions of the Prisons Department.
“We have to wait till the Public Service Commission makes recommendations in this regard,” he said. (Ceylon Today Online)
