Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena says that the present government has been able to bring fuel and provide electricity in this manner despite the dollar crisis and that the people should understand the situation and use electricity sparingly.
“Between 2015 and 2020, nobody thought about new power generation. There was no talk of a renewable energy program. Despite the dollar crisis, we have been able to bring in some of this fuel and carry it this way.
Now let’s say if the Opposition took over this responsibility tomorrow, how would they do this? Will they print dollars all at once?
We have to make a decision on our own. We have to turn off one light bulb in our house and use it sparingly at this time. ”
Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena stated this addressing a women’s meeting of the SLPP held yesterday (19).
