The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake

Ravi Karunanayake questioned how Government price relief through approximately 500 Sathosa outlets could benefit the wider population, noting that only a small share of Sri Lankans can access those outlets. He cited official monthly living cost figures for Colombo and Monaragala and asked how households would cope amid declining purchasing power and rising freight and insurance costs. He challenged the Government on its election promise to reduce prices.
