Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake criticized the CEB for disconnecting consumers even over small unpaid bills while failing to provide uninterrupted electricity, citing repeated daily outages. He asked whether consumers would be compensated for power interruptions and said the response given was inadequate, calling for a more diligent and secure answer on the issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 That is not the point. There are millions of consumers. Even for a Rs. 10 unpaid bill, the CEB disconnects supply. The CEB must ensure uninterrupted power supply, yet outages occur several times a day. Will compensation be paid to consumers? As a former Power and Energy Minister, I say the answer given is insufficient for the country. A more diligent and secure response is required.
