COLOMBO (News 1st): A cabinet paper has been presented to establish a new institution in place of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka, the Consumers to Protect Rights movement alleged today (21).
“When attempts were made to hand over the tender to construct the 4th power plant in Norochcholai to a Chinese company disregarding procurement procedures, the PUCSL intervened and halted it. Moreover, the PUCSL foiled attempts to purchase emergency power over the past year. This independent institution has become an annoyance because it stops the corrupt activities of the CEB”, Kelum Amarasinghe, the Convenor of the Consumers to Protect Rights movement revealed.
