The Government has decided to go ahead with the reform of Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) despite the recommendation by the Sectoral Oversight Committee on National Security not to do so, a Minister, who did not wish to be named, said today.
It was reported earlier that the Sectoral Oversight Committee headed by MP Sarath Weerasekara had recommended not to privatize SLT.
"The government has already decided to go ahead with the reform before the Sectoral Oversight Committee came up with its recommendation. Therefore it is likely that the government will go ahead with the original plan," the Minister said.
It was highlighted that the copies of the Sectoral Oversight Committee decision has been sent to President Ranil Wickremesinghe. (Yohan Perera)
