Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka says the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) agreement posed no threat to Sri Lanka.
Ranawaka has made this observation at a news conference.
He has challenged any one to show any clause in the MCC that was detrimental to the country.
“The US will provide us with US$ 480 million as a grant to upgrade and uplift transport system and to improve land administration,” Ranawaka has said.
"Under the transport sector, it includes advance traffic management, bus transport modernisation and central region road network,” he has further noted.
The Minister has explained that it would improve road connectivity between the central region and ports and markets in the Western Province.
Ranawaka has noted that many were blaming the MCC agreement was an American trap, but has called on those criticizing the agreement to prove it.
"We don’t want to hide the content of the MCC. It is open to the public domain," he has added.
