LG Bodies Female Representation Still In Trouble

Chairperson of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party Women’s Front State Minister Sudarshani Fernandopulle said, practical issues have arisen in appointing 25% of females for local government bodies as the parties and independent groups were only required to include 10% through respective nomination lists.
So, certain practical issues have arisen with regard to female representation in Local Government bodies and final consensus on the issue of female representation has not even been reached within the party thus far, she said.
