News just reached me of the surreptitious and stupid sale of the CCC property near the Beira Lake valued at over Rs10B to foreign companies for development.
This is a disgraceful betrayal of the Mahinda Chinthana policies where they fervently promised not to sell an inch of land to overseas interests. What is more this was done with no tender procedure and with so much secrecy relating to the bribes paid and the pockets lined that it is contrary to all accepted practice in this regard.
There should have been an open auction and transparent negotiations on such a valuable property. In fact I am totally against the sale of this property to anyone as I would have liked this to be a park for the benefit of those who live in Colombo, which would inevitably enhance the quality of life of those who live there. No doubt the sellers are those who have no intention of living in Colombo, as they would not be permitted a future here once the extent of their robbery becomes public so will be living in luxury in foreign lands and will not bother about what happens to the future of Colombo sans any open spaces as is coveted in the quality of life index of any city.
SO THERE YOU GO COLOMBIANS THE RAPE OF WHAT IS LEFT JUST TOOK PLACE FROM UNDER YOUR NOSES BY YOUR SUPPOSEDLY CONCERNED GOVERNMENT
