Mr Tissa Attanayake should remember a famous saying;

"People living in glass houses should not throw stones at neighbours"

Has he forgotten the days that the UNP ran the country, their Ministers were also not 'transparent' when dealing with foreign purchases.

This highlights the danger of not having a RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT in Sri Lanka. Let the Opposition fight for it.

It was reported sometime ago that an executive of Rolls Royce was responsible for some of the shady deals.

No transaction in the history of SL politics have ever been transparent. The UNP was as bad as the present government. All are rogues and racketeers. Change of government has always been a case of changing the spoon so that each party was able to serve them selves from the dishes of corruption. Politicians must be thinking that the people are idiots.

Do you have any idea how much one RR engine will cost ? More over a new Airbus aircraft ? Buying more spare parts with aircrafts is much more cost effective. Rather than buying them separately.

Dear Sir, What a load of rubbish. Most Airbuses come with RR engines! Firstly why dont you forcus on the rising costs, bribes, crime, etc. You lot talk and do nothing, like the rest. Also you wont get the planes! There is a waiting list, so first one will be 5+ plus.

We are a very rich country and we can afford to sign any contract.

Was it an open world wide tender. There are two or three other well known airplane jet engine manufacturers beside Rolls Royce such as GE, Pratt & Whitney etc. Were quotations obtained from any of these, before grating Rolls Royce the order?
