Though Lost Control Gemunu Continues as LPBOA Head

During the recent bus strike  Lanka Private Bus Owners’ Association (LPBOA) head  Gemunu Wijeratne  challenged the other bus  operators  union  Inter Provincial Private Bus Associations(IPPBO)  stating  that  they have only 2,000 members and his association has 20,000 members . Hence, strike by a small group would not have any impact  on bus transport on 2^nd December 2016.

However, when strike was launched on  2^nd December all private buses did not operate. Even Gemunu Wijeratne   could not manage to engage even one of his bus.  He had egg on his face.

In the aftermath, he offered  to resign as President of the Lanka Private Bus Owners’ Association (LPBOA), but   he was reappointed President for another year.
