30 mil is nothing

What is $30 million compared to the $700 million Chandrika borrowed from Japan to construct the Colombo Katunayake Express Way, when she was the President? The Express way never came up and still no one knows what happened to that $700 million. But Sri Lanka is still paying back the loan to Japan.

When bidding for big projects always there are few items like Project Contingencies, Fuel escalation, Project Variations etc. in the BOQ - these items are inserted to cover unexpected costs that may occur during the implementations stage - naming of these items my vary from project to project - however the purpose is same - If the Client and Contractor and Consultants agrees these items can be removed from the BOQ - Regarding taking commissions inflating cost items are a possibility - however that is done by the bidders - if these bidders inflate too much then they might loose the bid so they will carefully study the local political situation and add certain % to the cost items -which will be the commission money - during the technical evaluation stage by Cabinet appointed Evaluation Committee the bidders try to influence various higher ups with promises and concessions to turn the evaluation in their favour When the project are funded by ADB or JICA or WB - the chances

Well done Rajitha. Now you, Ravi, Ranil, Rahuf can share $50M. How $50M.? Why china reduce it by $80M. You show people $30M right? China will give you cheap work. Chinese have any item for your price. You name the price china is ready to diliver cheap work. Please do the same thing for port city and sell MR and put the money in your pocket.

Good! this saving will cover part of the money lost on CB Bond deal.Please stop playing to the gallery and start doing some constructive work. People are getting fed up of government "talking the talk".Time to "walk the talk". You will not be able to survive only talking about misdeeds of previous government unless you actually bring perpetrators to justice and recover some of the money.
