The claim
A salary increments in 10 professions from January 1st, 2025, in Sri Lanka !!
Original review summary
The review says the Silumina report about salary increases for 10 public-service professions was published on August 31, 2024, before the presidential election—not after the new government took office. It reports that the new government said there would be no increase from January 1, 2025, and that a salary increase would instead be presented in the 2025 budget.[S1]
Additional context
The review says that on October 29, 2024, the cabinet spokesperson stated that no money had been allocated for the previously announced salary increase. [S1]
