It has been reported that the Western Provincial Council has decided to import some 125 luxury chairs with facility of heating its councillors’ posterior at a cost of Rs 650,000 each. Chief Minister Isura Devapriya has made a futile attempt to justify the move, saying that the council had sufficient funds for that purpose while government is taking stringent steps to control unnecessary imports. Excellent furniture is locally manufactured. The Government Factory, established in 1849 and later shifted to its present location at Kolonnawa in1928, was the main supplier of furniture for the entire government, local government bodies and later, also for some corporations and there was no need to call for tenders for purchases from the Government Factory. We as, new recruits in the public service in the General Treasury, were shown by our superiors, the table and the chair manufactured by the Government Factory and used by D. S. Senanayake as the Minister of Agriculture in his office located on the third floor, middle part of the Old Secretariat Building. Although this is an isolated incident it surfaced thanks to the intervention of a JVP councillor.[1]Seleettimber (talk) 03:23, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
