The Sri Lanka Immigration and Emigration Officers’ Association has called for a thorough investigation into senior officials linked to the ongoing passport crisis. In a public statement, the association emphasized the department’s lack of transparency regarding passport issuance, which has led to significant repercussions for national administration and the government’s objectives.
According to the union, senior officials have miscommunicated vital information regarding passport processing, thereby complicating the operations of the newly formed Government. This situation has not only hindered the timely issuance of passports but has also disrupted the public’s trust in the immigration system. The association insists that accountability is essential to rectify the issues plaguing the department and to ensure that accurate data is provided to the responsible minister.
The union’s plea for an investigation underscores the need for clear communication and responsible leadership within the immigration sector to restore confidence and efficiency in passport services. The association’s concerns reflect a broader commitment to improving administrative practices and ensuring that the government can fulfill its commitments to citizens effectively.
