Colombo (News 1st); Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe warned the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill is dangerous as it is exempt from the powers of the Executive and Judiciary.

In a video statement, the UNP leader said there is no such bill in any other country in the world, adding that the people need to know as to why such a bill was prepared.

“This could be an attempt to launder money,” stressed Wickremesinghe.
