CEB Chairman resigns after dispute on controversial CoPE disclosure

Date:

M.C. Ferdinando has reportedly resigned from his post as the Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board.

Speaking recently to the Committee on Public Enterprises (CoPE) Ferdinando had alleged that the proposed Wind Power Plant project was being handed over to the Indian company ADANI without calling in for procurement due to the pressure exerted on him by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa based on what he described as an influence by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The ex-CEB Chairman had later withdrawn his comment, apologising for his actions.
