Joint Opposition Demands Collective Cabinet Accountability for Substandard Coal Imports

The Joint Opposition has declared that the entire Cabinet of Ministers is accountable for the import of substandard coal, stating that the resignation of the subject minister alone is insufficient. In a recent statement, the opposition highlighted that the decision to procure low-quality coal from an unregistered company was a collective Cabinet decision. They emphasized that the incident has resulted in significant financial losses, environmental damage, and potential long-term public health impacts for the country. The Joint Opposition further called for the establishment of a mechanism to recover these substantial losses, asserting that a minister's resignation should not impede any ongoing or future investigations by a Presidential Commission.
