Talking point:

Foreign to Ministry

Some officials at the Ministry that is Foreign seem to care less even when it comes to requests of the highest order.

The assistance of the Ministry was sought last week to identify photographs of a top level New Year function hosted for foreign diplomats. But the officials passed the ball to one another saying that the top three in the Ministry protocol were not available and that the other officers "did not want to take the risk".

"Don't the next level of officers in the Ministry come forward in their numbers when it comes to a foreign tour, even if the top most men in the protocol are not available?" it was questioned. After several attempts and many telephone calls, a Ministry representative was eventually found for the job.

If this is the case for an urgent request from the highest level, one wonders how some of these lethargic officials would cope with the high level of efficiency and dedication that are needed to counter international conspiracies and protect Sri Lanka's image. Time is now opportune to get rid of inefficient officials, political sources said.
