Election related illegal recruitment at Survey Department - CaFFE writes to EC
Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CaFFE) states that the Survey Department has sent letters to over 300 persons, most of them from Uva province, asking them to come for interviews for the post of trainee surveyor between September 2 and 3 at the Survey Department head office.
CaFFE in a letter to Commissioner of Elections states the move is a violation of election laws as recruitments, transfers and promotions of government servants are prohibited during the election period.
Attached herewith are the letter sent by the Survey Department and CaFFE's letter to the Commissioner of Elections.
