Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
2026-02-05
The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara acknowledged the Deputy Minister's responses and noted his party's role in securing a court-ordered age-limit extension to 45. He raised two outstanding concerns: the need for a decision on the Gazette date, which had not been addressed, and a call to explicitly include Archaeology and Sociology graduates in any new Gazette notification to prevent future complications arising from their omission.
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Minister, for the answers. We ourselves worked to secure the age-limit extension to 45 in the courts. However, we did not discuss the Gazette date. Please take a decision to address that. Also, please ensure Archaeology and Sociology graduates—though fewer in number—are explicitly included in any new Gazette to avoid renewed issues.
