Namal aims to create 2 million jobs within next decade

The Presidential candidate of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), Namal Rajapaksa, says he plans to generate 2 million new employment opportunities within the next decade.

Speaking at a public rally in Matale, the SLLP’s presidential candidate said that he would transform the country’s administrative systems to eliminate “the era of long queues”. It emphasized that in the future, people in the country, including the youth, would no longer have to wait in queues for passports, NICs, driver’s licenses, etc.

“We will remove fraud and corruption from the election stage,” he added.

He said they will get rid of that with technology and by introducing competitive bidding systems from the procurement method to the tender procedure, and that they will work to create a program that ensures the protection of transparency and quality through it, together with that technology.

“We are dealing with the world. We are securing the economy of the parents and children who have their feet in this motherland. It can be the information technology, investment and production, service, or foreign employment sectors. I will take the challenge of creating two million jobs for your child in the next 10 years,” Rajapaksa pledged.
