The Sri Lanka Administrative Service Association (SASA) has made four key suggestions to Sri Lankan authorities on the need to arrive at an immediate acceptable solution within the frame of provisions of the Constitution.
Issuing a statement, the Association said it has been closely observing the current state of the country.
The SASA further said that an immediate acceptable solution must be reached by listening to the public opinion of the politically independent people’s protest, while safeguarding the rule of law.
The five key suggestions are as follows:
1. Public representatives should listen to the majority public opinion of the politically independent people’s protest and immediately provide solutions through the Legislative.
2. Politically independent protestors who have been fighting to establish the rule of law and social justice, should fight for their rights by staying within the legal framework.
3. The protestors should take action to hand over the public property that belongs to the people, back to the authorities immediately as it has already been declared, and no public or private property should be damaged in future.
4. Since it appears that certain people and groups with hidden agendas have joined the people’s protest which has remained non-violent and politically independent so far, no space should be allowed to make it a platform to achieve their narrow personal objectives.
5. Though at a time of political instability, the SASA, along with all the Public Servants pledges to not allow the country to descend into a state of anarchy, by ensuring that the 22 million citizens of the country carry on their day-to-day lives even at a minimum level with limited resources.
The SASA added that it continues to provide active intervention for the righteous objectives of the politically independent people’s protest, which are, to ensure maintaining the normal day-to-day life of people, and, to seek a solution for the current issues within the frame of democracy, which would establish the rule of law in the country.
