All Lanka Sathosa outlets to be inspected - minister

Co-operative and Internal Trade Minister Johnston Fernando instructed Consumer Affairs Authority(CAA) officials to inspect all Lanka Sathosa outlets and storage facilities in a similar manner as is done with private shopping malls and super markets.

“The law is equal to everyone. No discriminations should be made between private and public businesses. The law is equal to all shops and business establishments island wide, the minister said.

He was participating at the opening ceremony of the 266th Lanka Sathosa outlet at Ratmalana,Tuesday.

“The government will safeguard the rights of the customer and maintain discipline in the market to ensure high standard and quality commodities are provided”, he added.

“Lanka Sathosa and Co-operatives have become the price decider and have joined the chain of giant shopping malls in the country”, the minister said.

“The government is committed to providing goods at concessionary prices while safeguarding a fair market for the customers”, he added.

“The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) is pointing fingers at us saying we are magicians. But the real magicians are none other than themselves”, he said.

Opposition political parties are always shouting about high prices to gain political mileage. They have become agents of the trade mafia. The government will protect the consumer at any cost in the future too, the minister said.
