The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake challenged the ruling that his matter fell under Standing Order 27(2) and objected to receiving only annexures after waiting 14 months for a response. He asked for details on electricity generation volumes and unit costs, linking the request to prior commitments to reduce tariffs by one-third and arguing that renewable generation should enable a 35–40 per cent tariff reduction for consumers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Your ruling is incorrect; this is not under Standing Order 27(2). I have allowed 14 months for this answer, yet I receive four annexures. I asked how much electricity is generated and at what cost, especially since you promised to reduce tariffs by one-third. If generation is from renewables, tariffs can drop by 35–40 per cent. Since that has not happened, I ask the unit costs, so our consumers can get answers.
