Sri Lanka plans to hire 30,000 more state workers, President Anura Disanayake said after salaries were also increased in the 2025 budget.

“We will hire 30,000,” Disanayake told a provincial election campaign rally in Buttala.

“There are vacancies; We don’t have enough middle level officials. Our public service has too many at the lower levels, just enough at the top but not enough at middle layer.

“We will advertise in the papers. Send in your applications.”“We will have exams, and hire.”
