Well done. Keep to the plan, if SL ever going to succeed and stand up on its feet instead of going around the world with the begging bowl.
Infra-structure development is a pre-requisite to economic development in any country. It is massive and the responsiblity of the government. Some economic pundits talk on (direct) return on these investments. It is invisible. All should support these development activities. Talking always on giving out doles is a vote catching gimmick and creating dependency syndrome among people.
