View(s):Matara MC: Stuck in the dark ages
Although Matara was upgraded to a Municipal Council several decades ago, it still operates as if it was stuck in the past. There is no official website, no facility for online payments, no proper telephone directory, and not even official email addresses.
This appalling state of affairs clearly reflects the inefficiency, and sheer lethargy of successive Chief Ministers of the Southern Province, the so-called relevant Ministers, Municipal Commissioners, and the Mayors who have held office. In this digital age, the absence of even the basic GovPay facility is nothing short of a disgrace.
Is it too much to expect at least the minimum standards of governance and service delivery from those entrusted with public responsibility?
