Do not play around with the consumers as CEB inefficiency cannot be passed onto us.If India can supply electricity to the domestic consumer at INR 6.20 equivalent LKR 29/-per unit,we are unable to understand why CEB is incapable to reduce costs.Send a CEB team to India for cost feasibility training

An extreme HIKE on Electricity TARIFF has already been made by the Government. Upto 2030 no hike needed. The people are dying in vainly day by day without FOOD.

At present aren't we paying increased tariffs on electricity amidst the strong opposition by temples, several sectors of industry etc. and the consumers who are facing hardships with the runaway inflation. Now what are you talking of once again increasing the tariffs. Right throughout, the state owned organizations have not been prudently managed with wastage, overstaffing, with lackeys of politicians squandering of funds resulting in consumers having to face the brunt of everything with increased tariffs. No one will disagree with a genuine and reasonable tariff increase if the CEB is well managed by cutting unnecessary expenditure like high salaries which have distorted the salary structure which usually has to be a percentage of the overhead costs/profits.

This moron is just a minion in this game. The government will heavily increase the tariffs irrespective of what he says.
