Industrial Exports and Investment Promotion, Tourism and Aviation Minister Prasanna Ranatunga yesterday said that the government will recommence recruiting the unemployed graduates and the O/L qualified youth as soon as the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) wins the forthcoming General election. The minister was addressing a meeting held in Mahara yesterday.
He said the recruitment will be completed in two weeks after the new SLPP government was set up.
The Minister said that one of the main priorities of the government is to provide jobs to the unemployed youth. “We are committed to do that. That is why we commenced these two programmes. “Unfortunately, the Election Commission issued a directive to suspend them. However, we have decided to recommence these two programmes as soon as the new government is set up,” the MInister said.
