The Hon. Kumara Jayakody stated that road maintenance is not within the Ceylon Electricity Board’s mandate and should be referred to the Road Development Authority or the District Secretary. He said the CEB could consider contributing if an estimate is provided, but neither the CEB nor the Ministry can fully resolve the matter, and action would have been taken earlier had the DCC conveyed a specific obligation.

¶ 01 The CEB is not mandated to maintain roads. We can request action from the Road Development Authority or the District Secretary. If the CEB is required to make a contribution, we can consider it upon receiving an estimate. Otherwise, neither the CEB nor the Ministry can fully resolve it. If the DCC’s decision had been conveyed earlier with any obligation on our part, we would have acted accordingly.
