The resignation of Sri Lanka's Energy Minister Kumara Jayakodi has sparked criticism from the opposition, who argue it reflects the government's failure to ensure accountability regarding coal imports. Following the announcement of a Presidential Commission to investigate the coal import practices of the state-owned Lanka Coal Company Limited, the opposition stated that the substandard quality of coal has resulted in an excessive reliance on diesel for power generation, with over 800,000 liters of diesel being used daily. This situation could impact other sectors, such as transportation and water processing. The government maintains that no financial loss has occurred due to the imports, despite the opposition's claims that the importing company was not registered at the time of contract approval. The Commission's findings are expected to be submitted to the president within six months, while the opposition continues to demand collective accountability from the government, rather than singling out individual ministers.
