Former Chairman of the Election Commission, Mr. Mahinda Deshapriya, has raised concerns regarding the timing of the recent announcement about a salary increase for public servants. While acknowledging that the decision to raise salaries is beneficial, Mr. Deshapriya pointed out the issue of making such an announcement on the day before postal voting begins. He emphasized that, although this move may be seen as a positive development, the timing could lead to questions about its impact on the fairness of the electoral process.
