COLOMBO (Daily Mirror) - The Cabinet has approved the proposed electricity sector reform bill today, Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said. 

Accordingly, the new bill will be gazetted and presented to Parliament for approval.

Once the new bill is approved by Parliament, the new Electricity Act will enable the unbundling of CEB services, restructure the CEB, improve efficiency, transparency, accountability and will allow private sector participation across electricity generation, transmission and distribution, the Minister said.

    Really good news for the country. Reduce the public service. Get the private sector participation and improve efficency.

    Quote "private sector participation ...". RW's policy is to destroy the private sector with Tax. His shortsighted views will plunge the country. What economic knowledge and the concern this fellow has?? He goes to places and make a "flowery" statements for that moment and vanish.

    You said restructuring immediately after first proposed increase of electricity tariff, now you have increased 3 times and are you trying to do the same thing again??
