First of the Local Government Council election "GUNDU". Why not grant Rs.2500/= salary increase pledged by MR?. Noncence.

Its really funny how so many readers get carried away by a simple statement made by the minister. If a price reduction is possible by applying the method mentioned then it would surely have been done earlier. How naive could some people be !

Why didn't we have this 'wisdom' earlier ? But any way there's nothing to worry i guess because we will be getting our own oil very soon......

Its nice if this gentleman make the comment after reducing the price. Mr. SB was going to increase univ. salaries by Rs. 200,000...! For those who knows about international oil market trends this is a joke. Buying crude from the world most expensive hub and refining them at the refinery that has the world's highest purifying cost per barrel due to over staff and corruption..... Truly Asia's little wonder

You mean all these years the government wasn't buying direct. Anyway the World markets will slump when Sri Lanka starts producing.

Going by the comments above, it appears Government has lost credibility. These annoucements are looked at with lots of suspicion and sarcasm.

No specific month (few months) or an approximate amount.
We were under the impression that the crude oil were purchased from direct suppliers.

Its commonsense that, if you purchase through a third party, the price will be always higher.
