These are projects where maximum commissions could be obtained. It will be easy to go begging on these roads. How come our governments don't understand the priorities of the day. Building high ways is not going to take away the hunger the people are facing today.

I hear they are going to charge a toll. Minister Johnston mentioned that there won't be a toll until the kadawatha mirigama was done.
