National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.
Transport infrastructure is a key area, as it should be when it makes up the bulk of NDP expenditure, but the Government does not have a good record in this area. In spite of his fantastic record in the IFA, as soon as the Minister of State was elected, the Government imposed capital gains tax on those who had land compulsorily purchased for the building of motorways. That was not explained to those people before the election. I have written to the Minister for Finance on behalf of people affected by CPOs and the responses I received are far from satisfactory.
