Former Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) M.M.C. Ferdinando has been summoned to appear before the Committee on Public Enterprises (CoPE) today (23).
Accordingly, Ferdinando is expected to appear in the Committee today at 11 am.
Ferdinando’s comments at CoPE on an early occasion (June 10) raised controversy and the letter submitted by the former CEB Chief regarding the withdrawal of his comments was tabled by the CoPE Chairman recently.
Based on the letter, the CoPE concluded that Ferdinando be summoned to the Committee today.
Nevertheless, CoPE member SJB MP S.M. Marikkar told media that there is no legal validity to a statement made before the Committee being withdrawn via a letter.
