Minister Basil Rajapaksa today told parliament that the ownership of the Hilton Hotel in Colombo had been transferred to the Government last week.
Some Comments_
1. By the government or by you????

2.This half news gives a wrong picture of the issue....the truth is Hilton has never paid the rental for the land to Gvt since its inception...these are not genuine business...Basil is right in this case...there are some idiots who comment without knowing what they comment about...

Dear readers, KINDLY READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE to see HOW MUCH these multi national companies OWE THE NATION...................................."The Government has acquired the Hilton Hotel in Colombo as the owners of the leading Hotel had only paid two months of lease to the government since its inception, Minister Basil Rajapaksa told Parliament this evening...............................Signs of the takeover by the government surfaced early last month after State media reported that ownership of the hotel will revert back to the State as the lease rental has not been paid for the land............................The Hilton Hotel deal was signed by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) during the UNP REGIME 1984(DURING THE WHITER THAN WHITE, NIVAHAL NIDAHAS DHARMISHATA SAMAJAYA DAYS).
