President Mahinda Rajapakse yesterday blasted the Ports Ministry Secretary and Treasury Secretary for delaying to send documents pertaining to the proposed Hambantota harbour, political sources said yesterday
Sources told The Island that President was furious when he learnt that relevant documents with regard to the Hambantota port had been delayed on a number of occasions and no attempt had been made to send the documents to China.
He said that the delay may be due to international pressures on Sri Lankan officials to sideline the Hambantota project.
The Island learns that President is keen to proceed with the project and forthcoming visit he would discuss this with the higher officials in China during his forthcoming.
Informed sources said that countries like Singapore and India do not want to see the Hambantota project coming up because on completion more than 600 ships will stop in Sri Lanka. Thus, India and Singapore the lose heavily.
Yes. Mona nathi wunath, hambanthota plan eka ewanna hoday. Anith ewa delay wunath mata prashnayak nah. Ah Weerawila airport plan ekath ewannako mekath ekkama.
He should get the papers and then arrange a trip for the foreign minister and his wife to take them personally. This would solve the sitting problem too.
He better build a bigger parliament quickly.
Well none knows how this president takes his place in history book yet, but he is determining to do something. His determination makes him unique, great effort.
Saint:
Everyone waits to crucify him at every turn..........
Nobody appears to be giving him the breathing space to perform........ cxriticism all unabated
The terrorists too were at breathing down his neck from day one and somehow or another he made them pay........
So he will prove to the others ? Hope so & Only time will tell....
Bulls in the gosl appear to be pulling in all directions..
Looks like the democratic politics a bane to the progress of the country..........
