The Sri Lanka Freedom Party says it is willing to support the proposed Colombo Port City Commission bill, as long as all determinantal clauses to the country are removed.
Speaking to media in Colombo, General Secretary of the SLFP State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera said the clauses that challenge the unitary status of the country, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity must be removed.
He said such concerns will be discussed with the President and the government.
State Minister Jayasekera noted that the country requires investments, irrespective of where it comes from, in order for Sri Lanka to move forward.
On a separate note, General Secretary of the SLFP State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera said they will seek for alternatives if the government proposes changes to the Provincial Council Elections Act that are unfavourable to the party.
He said they have concerns pertaining to proposals to the ward-based system and bonus seat allocations.
State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera noted several SLFP organisers are eager to contest the upcoming elections, and therefore they cannot disregard their interest.
He said they will hold discussions with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna before arriving at a decision pertaining to the Provincial Council Election.
