Next possible theft of intellectual property by the current Ex Co !

What is that? That is the “The well known 21,000 transport allowance”


A transport allowance worth of 21,000 was recommended by the Ministry of health to the treasury in 2008.


Due to the war situation in the country we got only a 100% increase. This elevated the DAT allowance (Disturbance, Availability and Transport) from 5000 to 10,000.This was spearheaded by Dr.Padeniya as the secretary GMOA.


In the absence of Dr Padeniya,No effort (appreciable) was made during the years 2009,2010 or 2011 to acquire what has already been “recommended” despite the end of the war and increase in the percapita income of the country.

The reason is obvious to many!

But, due to the growing pressure among the doctors for an urgent revision in the transport allowance the chances of getting the remaining 11,000 are good.

After a long sleep of many years, the Ex Co will come forward tomorrow and tell that,

“The executive committee has been successful in negotiating the transport allowance for the entire membership of the GMOA…”
On that day remember, what they have really done was delaying it….

When calculated with the 25% increase given with the budget, you are losing Rs 14,000/= each month!
