COLOMBO (News1st): Trade unions from the electricity sector have revealed a plan by the Government to purchase power from private power plants.

“…they are attempting to extend the deals with A.S. Embilipitiya, A.S. Matara and Asia Power,” Malaka Wickramasinghe, the chairman of the CEB Trade Union Collective said.

He pointed out that the tenure of these contracts had expired in 2015. “They are attempting to loot the people’s money,” Wickramasinghe noted.
