Statement from Former Minister of Power & Energy: Kanchana Wijesekara
I returned the state vehicles and my office yesterday and leave the Ministry of Power & Energy and the Institutes under my purview in stronger financial positions and with adequate stocks of petroleum products and coal for power generation and fuel supply.
All the institutes are now on positive balance sheets, recovering costs for its services, making payments on time for suppliers, servicing outstanding debt and providing & supporting the treasury with the additional revenue it’s generating.
I wish to thank the President @RW_SRILANKA, colleagues, my family, friends, officials & staff of the Ministry & Institutes, diplomatic missions, development agencies, various government & private stakeholders and everyone who assisted during the last two years.
From 4-13 hour power cuts, no fuel situation, no coal, no petroleum products, no suppliers, no cash, limited hydro capacity’s in 2022, I leave with adequate stocks of coal, petroleum products, hydro capacity and financially stronger institutes for an uninterrupted supply of fuel and power generation.
