I think PPP won this one though!
Why is it a winnable case for the PPP? It is an example of obscene crony capitalism. They government put in 95 percent of the funding, investors only 5 and they control 100 percent of the asset.
That is an ugly bridge. It has no pedestrian walk way. A suspension bridge was proposed up river by the bend for 45 million. This was moved there and the infrastructure built up at government expense ( inclusive of compensating land owners) because they give the same people some 25 hectares lease for 99 years to build a deep sea harbor and oil refinery. Up river they could have fostered New Amsterdam, had a narrower section to scan and all the road work was already in place. Now we have a warped monstrosity what is prohibitive to poor people in a poor region...especially now since no body has work.
This is PPP crookedness in nth degree. And by the way, it does not take smarts to be crooked. Actually, smarts would be involved if it was done right.
