Why are they there?

The individual who are now in the driving seat of the GMOA may not be efficient enough. Their vision for the future of the profession may not be broad enough. Their modes and ways of communication may not be friendly enough. Sometimes they may not be aggressive enough. In a nut shell they may not be up to the expectations of the profession.

Day by day, year by year they are there. May not be the same faces, but at least decedents of the same group. This sometimes has made some feel even angry and frustrated.

Let us see, why that is.
Simply it is due to lack of a reliable opposition.

When we are to analyze the individuals, who fought to get in to the GMOA driving seat in the recent 8 years,
1. Dr.Anil Ambawatta/ Dr.Senarathne and the group.+/_ Dr.Bellana
2. JVP group.
3. Dr.Sameera and Dr.Bellana group.(latest)

The individuals who are familiar with the GMOA elections may agree that Dr.Anil Ambawatta/ Dr.Senarathne and the group is always contesting for the elections and acting the role of “Wilson Karu “of Sinhala cinema. Persistently unable to develop any intellectual dialog among the membership while notorious about the inability to work and get on with the other health staff and collogues.

The group lead by the JVP proved their suitability for that title by the fact that they are now under the JVP flag (AC GMOA)
Then what happened last time. Most junior groups who are not exposed to the pattern of new appointments and poisoned by Dr Bellana were put forward with the backing of Dr.Senarathne, who is known to be defeated.

Now you may be witnessing the activities of Dr.Anil Ambawatta and Dr.Senarathne conversing for the General from ward to ward at NHSL. (Adding another disqualification to come to the driving seat of GMOA)

All these groups have become unable to demonstrate,

That they are politically unbiased, trust worthiness in handling funds of the membership, cleanliness of their characters with good track records and ability to lead an intellectual dialog.

Are we 100% happy with the performance of the present ex co.
NO,NO,NO

But,believe me,
The present group has become able fulfil the above few requirements for the past many years,although they are not up to the optimum in many other fields.
Please understand that these are some of the essential qualities,expected by the membership and which most individuals lack.

They do not earn anything other than
Spending their “family hours “and their “PP hours” for the GMOA,
Earning enemies, on “transfer matters”,
and the happiness that they are in the “GMOA EX CO” at the end of the day.

So if somebody is wishing for a “Brand new EX CO “
Please pay your attention to
Come as a fresh group (Do not get tagged with Dr”Wilson Karu”)
Cultivate the good qualities which the membership expects form you.
Learn how to develop and handle an intellectual dialog in professional matters.
