The Power Division has firmly denied media reports suggesting that members of parliament (MPs) and bureaucrats are being provided free electricity.
In a statement released on Sunday, the division clarified that no parliamentarian or bureaucrat benefits from complimentary electricity.
“There is no truth in the media reports claiming that free electricity is being provided to MPs and bureaucrats,” the Power Division stated.
The clarification further emphasised that no government institution receives free electricity either.
This rebuttal comes in response to widespread speculation and media coverage implying that certain privileges, such as free electricity, are granted to high-ranking officials.
