How to think about Sri Lanka electricity tariffs

No developed country I seen or learnt about lets private companies dance to their own tune. There are commissions, regulations,acts, law enforcement etc. In the least interest groups will start making massive racket and there will be suing.

Here I am talking about the entire private sector as monopoly. Main concern of private sector is more and more profit. So what if they get united and come to a decision to stop competition in the hope of making more profit. This is happening in so called developed countries. Their economy is mainly on hands of private sector. So their governments have to dance according to their tune even though they do not reveal it.

Do you really think that they may reveal those things ? They have commissions, regulations bla..bla...to maintain their policies. But who are the main characters behind their policy making ?

I know you dream about fair and better world....Well it is good but remember everything is not as it looks. If you look in to deep without being prejudiced you may see it.

slstock wrote:Yes everything is not as it looks . In Sri lanka or in the world. Not only myself but you should also understand it.


It is good to be patriotic but we need to be fair, open minded and realistic. Then only we see new things along good and bad and how to improve further.

Not all western countries do bad things always. There are many good things happening. The quality of life is higher with material living, service , consumer protection etc . When we visit/live we can see the benefits to compare. For example though America have done harm to the world we should not forget how much new research they do and how much charity/donation they make.

I once remember having a talk with a foriegn war Veteran. He was
arguing that they were doing service by invading xxx country to
instill better democracy and introduce thing they have not seen. I was
telling him " if the people are not willing to accept what you are doing
is good and they do not want to change their life style then how can
you say you are doing good? It is wasted effort"
.

I am not big shot famous guy.

But I had the opportunity to educated many from Sri Lanka and possibly from 50 other countries in classes I taught . One thing I always tell them all is , Knowledge, Skills are not the only thing you need to succeed in life. It is also positve ATTITUDE and be Balanced in thinking. I am not that old but old enough to see some students of mine now becoming Assistant directors in Govn departments and have class mates in significant positions in Gov depts.




Only reason I replied further is so that a few more will read this with a open mind to understand what I am saying. If we are willing to take the good and discard the bad we can make a further change to make Sri Lanka and world better.


Let me finish by saying "A Microwave is beneficial and efficient only if you are willing to test it to see the difference. "

I do not want to argue with you. I would like to give you a little advice or let us say opinion. If we want to understand a problem we need to look in to the core(හරය) of that problem....Otherwise we might be mislead by some isolated incidents or dramatized incidents......
For past hundred years we have been taught imbalanced opinions/knowledge. I do not say that there are no benefits from that. If we think we are balanced while on that imbalanced knowledge we would be in great trouble. That is what has happened to most of our educated lot. Only few has been able to get away from that western knowledged based prison. And that might be the Microwave you are talking about.

It is true that we cant allow loss of these institutions further burden to the country and we cant just restructure the CEB only.. all are connected..many gov institutions has debt to ECB and to CPC.

I dont think giving just to the private sector will solve the problem. It is good to have competition but can we compare telecom sector with other sectors equally??

Is ECB and CPC was loss making form their inception.. I dont think.. so when and what went wrong.. one thing fore sure we need to find ways and means to reduce the production cost...

In your post you have identified the problems. Then solve it. Of course it is easier to sell it to private sector and wash the hands. But it has the potential for serious long term consequences.
Solving these issues are really difficult but if we can atleast minimize these issues it is worth to keep these rather than selling it.
