By Jehan Perera The debate over Colombo Port City will not end with the passage of the law, which will govern the new territory reclaimed from the sea through Chinese investment, technology and negotiations skills. The dream holds out billions of dollars of foreign investment that will be pumped into the national economy and a fast track to development.  The Bill was passed last week into law even as the country prepared for emergency lockdown in the face of the rampaging Covid that has now even infected the Leader of the Opposition and his wife and compelled several parliamentarians to go into quarantine.  The vote was 149 in favour with just 58 against, a large majority, but still less than the 2/3 majority needed to permit the enactment of laws that are inconsistent with the constitution.
