WHY DIDN'T AUTHORITIES OF PREVIOUS REGIME NOTICE THESE THINGS, FIRST OF ALL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR ALLOWING HIM TO MISUSE THESE VEHICLES.

Ho Ho, then what is the value of the 600 policemen he arranged for slaughter in Batticoloa? Higher than a Tamil life but drastically lower than the value of misuse of a government vehicle.

Grave offence committed during last regime was misusing of vehicles. This is well evidenced with the amount of vehicles imports to Sri Lanka. Sri Lankans suffering with Rathagaya.

The person who authorised the issue of the vehicle should be arrested to find out the dealings, and what grounds it was issued.

See a lot of interesting anti Yahapalanaya comments. This man is arrested not for misusing a vehicle. The man is arrested for misuse of state property . Should you damage a seat in a railway carriage you face the same consequences .
