A no-confidence motion against Kumara Jayakodi is scheduled to be debated in Parliament today.

The motion, submitted by the Opposition, is based on allegations related to the procurement and quality of coal imports and their impact on power generation. Opposition MPs claim that issues in coal procurement and supply led to disruptions in electricity generation, prompting the move against the Minister.

However, the government is expected to defeat the motion due to its parliamentary majority.

A recent audit report highlighting alleged irregularities in coal procurement is also likely to be discussed during the debate. Additionally, Opposition members are expected to raise the Minister’s indictment in court over a corruption case linked to his tenure as a state official.

The motion was handed over to the Speaker last month, and the Committee on Parliamentary Business later scheduled the debate for today. The outcome of the vote is expected later today after the debate concludes.
