The people who cannot afford to buy the cooking gas almost depending on the kerosene oil. Further the boat owners who engaged in the day fishing are also using the kerosene oil to power their light boats.Normally They are mainly doing two types fishing known as angling and netting. Most the fish consumers are willing to buy the day fish as they believe that it is fresh Therefore while increasing the price of kerosene oil at once It will badly affect the lively hood of the innocent fishermen

Price hike is not an issue for the Kerosene for the time being,but the problem is that where can we buy the Kerosene; is it in the next PLANET?

What will be cost effective now Monday, 22 August 2022 06:17 AM
The country is becoming impossible to live in for the costs.
Already it was becoming horrible with seeing how voice for change and freedom were remanded.
The many like myself who were happy with kerosene when there is no gas, now getting even unhappier with the lot who order this to happen.

Nearly 400% increase? Thieves and looters living in Col 7 would not care. Ordinary folk who paid their taxes and earned an honest living will pay a heavy price.

390% increase on an essential item of the poor?
Ranil and his Pohottuwa manipulators, from where is a poor man or fisherman going to fing the extra Rs.253?

How could that be? What a curse and who makes these calculations? May be Mahinda's Hambantota Henchmen.

kerosene is the main fuel for farmers in the north and east and most of the fishermen for board all over the country. Govt. should introduce a system to sell kerosene at a concessionary price for farmers and fisherman.
Increase the price of petrol and recover the loss on kerosene concessionary price.

Kanchana obviously wants this too Monday, 22 August 2022 11:12 AM
The minister obviously knows about it, and may have pushed the CPC to cut back on the loss from it.
But being a fair society we should allow for lower priced kerosene for those who have no other better cost options.
Where is the Namal Rajapaksa promoting Minister Kanchana Wijesekera now?
