Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena has instructed relevant authorities to conduct an inquiry and take disciplinary action against the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) media spokesman for his utterances on a television channel against estate workers.

The Prime Minister also stated that the government will not discourage or insult the actions taken by all the leaders of plantation sector for the betterment of the plantation workers.

Responding to a question by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa in Parliament yesterday the Premier stressed that an inquiry would be held into the statement made by the Ceylon Electricity Board’s media spokesman and take necessary action against him.

The Opposition Leader added that the spokesman had allegedly stated that the fathers of plantation sector children consume alcohol after 2 pm and said that it was an insult to the estate community.

During a recent television programme the CEB media spokesman had suggested that the children of plantation workers should get used to studying under oil lamps and he had further insulted these children claiming that their fathers were heavy drinkers.
