The Hon. Kumara Jayakody - Minister of Energy
The Minister of Energy stated that he had suspended the project after becoming aware of the issue and instructed the Ceylon Electricity Board to investigate expenditures and possible recoveries. He said further action would follow once the report is received and asked that the question be submitted formally for a detailed response, noting that he could not provide figures at that stage.
