Former President Maithripala Sirisena says that increasing the electricity bill is completely unfair. He said that paying the current electricity bill was too much even for him, a former president, and wondered how the common people of this country would bear it.
Speaking further, the President asked the public to collect some money to pay their electricity bill if possible.
When the court ordered former President Maithripala Sirisena to pay compensation to the Easter victims, he requested public assistance for that.
