Constitutional Affairs Minister Dew Gunasekara says more than 90 per cent of public servants is without any knowledge of the Tamil language, a situation which has created serious administrative problems.
Mr. Gunasekara says that as a solution, his ministry will bring in legislation to make basic Tamil language knowledge mandatory for all public servants.
A survey carried out by the ministry has found that a mere six pc of public servants in key government institutions has any knowledge of the language, while local government institutions are faring a little better at 16 pc.
