Police Minister and Acting IG both have skeletons in their cupboards that need Police investigation. As long as they stay in their respective offices such investigations are not possible. If they have nothing to hide they must step down for the investigations to happen

These two law breaker who wield lot of powers in this government, which was not elected by the people of this country are trying every trick in the books to deceive the masses. Allas use his news papers massively for this purpose. But these effects will back fire on them sooner or later.

It would be better if they joined the cabinet. They don't need to have any training for this.

What stunt masters we have in this country... They can't even play the bat and ball properly but they enroll for public service... Maybe to catch flies

Who is paying their salaries? May be they can lead Yukthiya and arrest Shammi Silva?

They are going to collect a Police salary to do what? I told my wife this morning "no more donating money to SL causes (even worthy ones) until SL learns to stop wasting money". Are they actually going to do any work at the Police Station?

I thought when one joins any of the armed forces be in Navy, Air Force, Army or Police, they have to start from the bottom and go into intense training before they are even accepted into the force they have singed up with and that too they start from the bottom ranks, not straight into a senior position. Looks like rigging still continues SHAME, this is why the COUNTRY IS IN A SINK HOLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAY IN THERE, UNLESS WE WIPE OUT ALL CORRUPTION STARTING FROM THOSE RULING THE COUNTRY, TO THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND THEN ONTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

Those who oppose Police should sit back and think of a situation where there is no more police in the country.

This is lopsided planning. its a Joke. SL Police must recruit Schoolboy sportsmen into their ranks and not National cricketers who are past their prime and serve no purpose..

And you want to give them Land too. Just for the name sake they became police. Pathetic. Treat the real policeman like this.

All cricket lovers are awaiting the judgement relating to SLC. Whistle blower was fired and Shammi and his rogues are now happy with the new patron saint. Police had a three tier recruitment system how come appointments as Inspectors. Was the education bar lowered as was done to one of the dollar billionaires YOSHITHA RAJAPAKSA Who never served the Navy only wasted 1000 million of peoples money.

This is the biggest insult to the Police Department.. Where is the Procedure? Can any Tom or Jerry become a Senior Police Officer with no Qualifications,no Knowledge ???? It's a shame the 4 Cricketers accepted these positions and joined the Police from the BACK DOOR..! You guys are DISGRACE TO THE POLICE..
