Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill allows separate laws for Port City and affects the sovereignty

Political analysts stated that the recently passed Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill will threaten and affect the sovereignty of the Sri Lankan state,  adding that, in different and subtle ways, the control of the port of Colombo is being attempted through a separate legal framework, despite the port city's ability to boost and advance the Sri Lankan economy. They also pointed out the need to create economic zones to benefit the people of Sri Lanka, not to provide tax havens and economic benefits to a select few.
