‘Govt. won’t sell Colombo lands’

It is useless keeping bare lands in the city.
If we lack funds to develop these lands we have no choice but to call investors to develop which will benefit the country and its people.
It is happening in Srilanka for sure

There is no necessity. The question is why is that happening? For whose benefit? Public or ?????

It shows the President's Secret-ary is not aware of what's happening in this country, how will the people. Pity.

Whatever needs to be done, needs to be done without obligation and bias towards any country. What is clearly apparent is China holds fort with the GOSL, where mega projects are offered on a platter where even the agreements are top secret and not made public. Why is this, when you state with your second tongue that you are not selling Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is on retail sale on instalment basis .But the customer lives in a far away land.The tragedy is that the owner(the people of Sri Lanka) is left homeless on the streets.The middlemen (politicians) are making big money as brokerage.
The far away land has no transparency and accountability to
the people of that country.

A Public servant is canvassing for Municipal elections. This will be overlooked by the Elections Commissioner. This is 7 star demecracy.

What is see in Colombo is cosmetic beauty. Can remember when the road leading to independence square was tared red and we all laughed. Well it will be the same time. When the cosmetics gets washed off, the original face comes back. The beauty of Colombo will have come with the economic growth. Not with borrowed or over taxed money.
