The Kandy Municipal Council is discharging about 80,000

continuing for the last seven to eight weeks. Residents
of the Gohagoda, Thekkawatta, Siyambalagasmula Mawatha and

Corruption
in Teaching Appointments in
Central Province
| Accusations
of corruption and political favouratism have tainted
the latest round of recruitment to the provincial teaching
cadre from among “Voluntary Teachers.” Some
school principals have been accused of issuing bogus
certificates to individuals certifying that they have
served as Volunteer Teachers in their respective schools.
Powerful politicians have tried to include their favorites
on the list of recruits although many of them do not
have the minimum qualifications. JVP Provincial Councilors
Samansiri Fernando and Gamagedera Dissanayake made these
revelations at the last meeting of the Central Provincial
Council.

Kandy's
“Small” Issues
The
presidential election is about big issues - peace, economy,
cost of living and jobs. The two main candidates are really
big on promises on each of them. If we are to believe either
of them Prabhakaran is waiting with open arms to welcome
the victor to Kilinochchi. Jobs will be galore, cost of
living will be a thing of the past and all of us will live
happily ever after.
There are a lot of small things that hardly get a mention
in these national political discourses. But many such small
things are very important to the life of a community. These
issues may appear to be very local. But for many of them
the solutions are beyond the capacity of the local community
at least for now because these people who debate the big
issues and rule from Colombo also keep a tight rein on the
small issues.
