Colombo, June 14 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Nalin Bandara Jayamaha expressed his regrets to the family of the young man who was killed in a recent road accident involving his vehicle.

“I express my regrets to the family members of the young man who was killed as a result of a recent accident in which my vehicle was involved.

“I am saddened by the incident,” he told a media briefing today.

However, the MP said he does not intend to comment anything on it till police investigations are completed.

“The report which said my vehicle was travelling at high speed is false as it was not possible to speed because of the heavy rain that was prevailing at that moment. I will leave the police to conduct an investigation. I have not influenced anyone in the police which is carrying out the investigations and neither have I spoken to Minister of Public Security Tiran Alles who is in charge of the police with regard to the matter,” he said.

High speed VIP vehicles on the streets is a symptom of the rotten political culture. What is needed is a new political culture

Impossible to speed in a heavy rain?? Which world is he from? Secondly, driving at the speed limit can also be considered speeding during rain as rain affected areas can lead to dangerous conditions. I don't believe that Sri Lankans get proper driver training rather they train to pass the test.

Politicians do not have to influence Police. When Police see them Police try to help politicians expecting rewards, say promotions transfer to a good station etc. That culture is built by our rotten politicians

Minister you don't need to be worried. As your representating Banana Republic everything will be covered up, police, judicial, and your friends and family. Just make sure next time don't drive in snow.

Please take him into custody which would have been done for any other person. The politicians are a lawless people and should be taught a Leeson. Sorry is not going to bring that person to life again.

Speed and negligence is the main cause for the accident!! In any vehicular accident someone is responsible for the accident, period. Only the guilty people call the minister incharge of police to influence, yeah.

Bad time for Nalin Bandara, this is just after failed debate between leaders of NPP and SJB which was initiated due to bad mouthing of NB,and people believe he has done it deliberately to make the leader shame,that could be, as NB knows well,the capacity of SP and forced him such situation
