The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) today requested President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to appoint a suitable Cabinet Minister to handle the subject of Power and Energy with immediate effect.
While sending a letter to the President by PUCSL Chairman Janaka Ratnayake by order of the commission, he said that there is a serious crisis in the power and energy sectors at present due to the lack of fuel supply to generation plants and drained down hydro reservoirs. Therefore, there is a forced limitation on electricity generation.
The main issue highlighted in the island-wide protests upon the massive unrest surfacing from the general public is the failure of the government to meet the demand for electricity, violating the fundamental rights of the seven million consumers and over 21 million people, the letter said.
As a result, there is an urgent need for an active ministerial portfolio in the power and energy sector, and it is critical that a minister be appointed with the necessary background, knowledge and capability to assist the respective institutions in resolving the present crisis and establishing long-term sustainability in the power and energy sectors.

The problem is that there is no money. It doesn't matter who the power/energy minister is. What matters is that SL gets Dollars!

Remove the Highway Minister Johnstan, there is no necessity of having him (other than playing out on Commissions) and appoint one minister for Power and Energy.

True, the President is deaf and blind, he does not know what he is doing now without giving prominence to the important ministry.

President gives priority to Highways as he and Jonny can playout on Highways, he is least bothered about Power and Energy.
