31 Jan 2021

The East Container Terminal (ECT) at the Colombo Port would not be sold or leased out, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said today. He said this in response to a question asked by a journalist in Tangalle. The Premier said, "We don't have to point the finger at the Opposition. We won’t give the ECT to anyone. We won't sell it or lease it out. It will be under our management. I think the Trade Unions also know this."
