The current egg issue should be solved by the 75th anniversary of Independence on Feb.4 or else people will hear the sounds of chickens and hens, the All Island Canteen Owners’ Association (AICOA) said.
AICOA chairman Asela Sampath told the media today that if this government cannot solve the issue, they will be marching to the Independence Day celebrations along with the chickens and eggs.
"It is a shame to hear that the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) had to visit the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) for the first time in its history to solve the egg issue in the country," he said.
"It is a question as to how these politicians engage in building the country without solving the egg issue," Sampath said.
"They are talking about constitutions and many other huge topics, but cannot solve the egg issue."
However, if this egg issue is not solved by February 4, people will hear the sound of chickens and hens among the gun salutes, Asela Sampath said. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
