It is people's money, politicians taking credit for doing something for the country is a cheap show.

SLPP politicians don't know the word truth, besides, if they open their mouths it's to condemn the opposition. They have no policies to talk about.

WHY DEBATE ON WHO DID IT. IT WAS DONE BY PEOPLES MONEY. SO IT WAS DONE BY THE PEOPLE TO THE PEOPLE AND NOT BY GOVT TO GOVT. HOWEVER IT IS THE ONUS OF THE PRESENT GOVT TO ANNOUNCE WHO DID THE PROJECT

None of them want to do it for the country, they just like the publicity and most of the time the Santhosams as well
