23 Dec 2021

Despite the cost of goods already being high, Minister of Highways Johnston Fernando says that they will only increase further and that “intelligent citizens” must understand this reality. “Until the pandemic ceases, we will have to face such difficulties. As intelligent citizens, we must understand this. These are not things we do willingly. Who would hike the price of fuel willingly, it will affect every layer of society,” the Minister said while speaking to the media yesterday (22). He also notes that a process must be implemented in order to ensure that both the people and the economy of the country is protected. When queried on the ongoing gas issues, Fernando remarked that he believes that an act of sabotage is a foot. The Minister also urged the people to refrain from worrying about the foreign reserves situation of the country as the Government is looking at the issue in a tactful manner.
