Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission has reportedly once again approached the Treasury for funds to facilitate the long delayed local council elections.
An immediate sum of Rs. 2.2 billion would suffice for activities leading up to the election, the Commission indicated, emphasising that the remaining amount can be disbursed in three instalments over the subsequent three months post-election.
Given the current favourable financial status of the country, the Election Commission is optimistic that the Treasury will provide the necessary funds to conduct the deferred local council polls.
