You are NOT a genuine tax payer mate

It was good decision at least to store paddy in this idling warehouse built at public expense and located far away from terminal. When opened about 3 years ago Economist from UoC had said $ 210 mn cost will be recovered in 10 years and said it is a priority project! In addition the road from airport to sea port 25 km had costed $ 412 mn China loan. Can we ever recover these costs who will pay them?

We voted for Yahapalanaya since they promised to fill the airport with planes. Not paddy!

Arnolis Thursday, 14 January 2016 03:07 PM

Govt should stop paying China interest for the massive loan taken to build this useless airport. Our govt should tell China to remove the airport and send it to China so that we could save our hard earned tax money.

Now we will wait and see what wonders they are going todo to this airport

Raja Thursday, 14 January 2016 02:41 PM

Just because others could not find money to build another air port which was in everyones plans

Bala Thursday, 14 January 2016 02:39 PM

What is the strategy you talk of. It was straightford use of a useless resource for useful purpose.

Lal Thursday, 14 January 2016 12:44 PM

MR supporters should be happy Mattala Airport was useful for storing paddy during the lack of warehouses

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:43 PM

You are right, however what else useful can you do with this?

banda Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:39 PM

airport with paddy is better than an airport with no aeroplanes

suresh Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:38 PM

did the person who built the airport with planes landing have any brains?

MSR Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:35 PM

Cheap politic strategies used by Yahapalanaya during election. Hope people realize.

Nimal Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:28 PM

No No just keep there.....it must be used for something

Yahapalan Thursday, 14 January 2016 01:20 PM

Brainless people to store paddy in a Air Port.

This is called one step forward and two steps backward.
