Minister Kanchana Wijesekera for his effective and bold policy decision at an extremely needy hour.

“We are proud to witness his courageous and timely decisions with transparency, being one of the youngest ministers in the Cabinet, holding the most challenging portfolios of power and energy.  During the recent past, we all Sri Lankans were experiencing bitter hardships to normal life in the face of prolonged power cuts, long and deadly queues for gas and fuel, etc.  

The introduction of Fuel Pass and provision of uninterrupted fuel and power supply revived the nation with renewed hope. Amidst all such commitments, his courage to take effective decisions to do away with the unnecessary hurdles during the recent past, instead of popular decisions, is an inspiration,” the CNCI said in a press release.

“We appreciate his continual efforts to restore normalcy by sacrificing even his political future and believe that he gets the backing of the public for right and timely decisions taken for the development of the country’s economy, which is very vital today. 

We wish to extend our support and offer our blessings to stay with the right decisions whatsoever repercussions there would be, if the outcome is better for the public and country at large,” it added.

The CNCI also expressed hopes that the other ministers too would act in a similar passion, if there is any act of disturbance to the public and if the rights of the people are misused.
