President visits Werahera RMV office; calls for efficient service

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa yesterday visited the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (RMV) office at Werahera and stressed on the need to provide prompt and accurate service to the public.

He said that efficiency must be the focus, without inconveniencing anyone who are seeking the service.

Similarly, no irregularities should occur during the course of action, he added.

President who inspected every section of the RMV also met several senior officials and discussed the operation at the office.

“Time is a vital factor for anyone. Hence, the officials should be committed themselves to provide their service in an efficient manner. The client should be notified when their job can be completed. This will be helpful for the public to attend their other work, instead of waiting and wasting their time at the office,” said the President, while highlighting the importance of resolving issues through negotiation. “It is very important that institutions such as the Department of Motor Traffic, which serves a large number of people in the country, set an example to others. When delivering their service all the officials should firmly resolve themselves to prevent any fraud or corruption.” 

The President instructed to recruit suitable candidate from among the 54,000 unemployed graduates to fill any existing vacancy. “The public is appalled by the actions of the politicians and the officials. Both parties should work in a responsible manner to change this situation,” the President added.
