Approval of the pricing formula for fuel (which was submitted to Cabinet) has been postponed, according to government sources.

The sources said the postponement was due to the lack of the requisite directions from the Finance Ministry to implement it.

The Cabinet paper containing the pricing formula had been presented to Cabinet by Petroleum Resources Development Minister Chandima Weerakkody. It had been discussed at a Cabinet meeting on January 13.

The Finance Ministry had said it needed time to submit its directives. Therefore approval had been put off. (Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)

Asking for directions from the Finance ministry or the finance minister is like a lost blind person asking for his bearing from another blind person.

No wonder. They are in need of finances after giving away political handouts. Wonder what will happen if world fuel prices go up and up.

Take your time. We can wait. Just ensure that once announced, you will not revoke it.

This is being purposefully delayed. The talk of price formula was in the air more than six months ago.
