The CEB high ranking officers are more often boasting that the reservoirs which are maintained by the board receive enough water due to the heavy rains being experienced throughout the country. Further the officers are elaborating that they are in a position to generate the electricity in maximum capacity using the rain fed hydro power stations Therefore we astonish as to why the CEB is increasing the electricity tariffs suddenly

We are all nothing but keyboard warriors. We make some noise and then shut up and put up with it. Like Ranil said SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN. That is all what we must do now.

Increasing price of electricity to increase the income will not be successful because the price elasticity of demand for electricity is high as users use it for several use and have the option to adjust according to the price increase

We have spineless opposition who cannot fight for the people.Also a goverment that is not concerned about the people. Next election will be very interesting to see who will go to the parliament. Not that any new party could do much. Who are the people they consulted to increase the tariff?

These tariff increases are because of people like Namal who default payments. What happened to Kheliya's balance payments pending since 2005

How many increases for the year. This increase is about 15%-20% increase within 4 months. I curse the Minister particularly and all the politicians in general

How long public can bare this .The general inefficiency,bad management,minister's arrogant actions and highly paid corrupt engineers/ politicians and mad unions will continue to do same. They never attempt to reduce the cost everything loaded to the public.

Please enlighten us on how to pay these increased bills, when we have to meet dire needs of 3 or 4 school going children, aged parents with needs of medication to name a few, without any increase in salary or income!

The best option is to start using petromax lamps. and kerosene lamps. switch off all unwanted lights and live in the darkness. Even Street lights will costly. Dam good for the people who voted the Pohotuwa into power and these buggers will eat the people alive.

I feel that the Increasing the electricity tariff is done as the liberalization policy. The possible buyers of various generations and distribution units would be seperatly sold out . They need to earn good profit margins without any headache. They are naturally afraid to face demonstrations and strikes. So the government is doing tant part .
