However, these technical problems also remain unspecified, according to trade unions.   Sri Lanka's Power and Energy Ministry last month turned down a move  by the CEB Board of Directors to hand over the management of the  Lakvijaya Power Plant to a Chinese Company for six months, at a  staggering fee of USD three million. The CEB, which is incurring heavy losses due to purchasing of  electricity at higher rates from private sector to cope with the demand,  has already asked for a tariff hike. The coal power plant now defunct was built by China Machinery  Engineering Corporation. It is operated by CEB since July. The plant was  officially handed over to the CEB from September.   Around 280 employees of CEB have been trained to manage the coal  power plant. Of them, around 100 including 80 engineers were trained in  China. CP</blockquote>
