Danny Boy,
I see a lot of comments about commission all the time mostly aimed at Mr and his people. This commission business has been going on for years with every party and every government and all over the world. If any one thinks that the current regime is not taking commissions they are they are dreaming. At least we saw some development post for war in Sri Lanka at very fast pace during MR”s time. Don’t see much happening these days
