Srilanka, Feb. 18 -- The Government is still conducting investigations to determine the cause for the recent power breakdown, Chief Government Whip Nalinda Jayatissa told Parliament today.

"Don't keep on talking about monkeys. We are still conducting investigations to determine the real cause for the power failure," Dr. Jayatissa said while assuring that the Power and Energy Minister will make a statement on the issue in Parliament within this week.

He was referring to a question raised by MP Ravi Karunanayake under Standing Orders 27 (2) in the House today.
