This institution was established years ago with a view to providing essential goods to consumers at a fair price.  Always run by political appointees and often described as a den of corruption it was on the rocks as usual when the yahapalanaya government took office.

As a result, the institution is back in the red, and is short of funds even to pay for goods such as rice, coconuts, dried fish and lentils supplied by local dealers, they say.

Employees say that they are at a loss to understand why the successive administrations have made it a practice to appoint political hangers-on with dubious track records to run the state-owned enterprises!
