Questioning fuel price hike shows lack of confidence in Prez: Gammanpila

12 Jul 2021

Minister of Energy Udaya Gammanpila says that regardless of the President taking responsibility for the recent hike in local oil prices, Cabinet ministers further questioning the hike indicates lack of confidence they have in the President.  The Minister was responding to a statement made by Transport Minister Gamini Lokuge to the media on Sunday (11) regarding the increase in fuel prices. Lokuge said: “Most people are of the opinion that the price of oil should not be increased at this time and that an alternative should be found, but the relevant Minister thought that the current option is to increase the price of oil.” He stated that Premier Mahinda Rajapaksa never brought forward a proposal to increase fuel prices and that the President “never” proposed to increase fuel prices. Responding to this, Gammanpila said: “Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Head of State, Head of Government and Head of Cabinet of Ministers has issued a statement No. 21/146 on 13 June regarding the increase in fuel prices. After the head of state makes such a statement, there is no need to ask those under the head of state whether it is true. Anyone questioning beyond that is saying that the President is lying.”
