What about Namal Rajapaksa for soliciting a bribe of A$ 280000? The big crooks are enjoying their stolen loot whilst the petty thieves are severely punished.

From the Bribes normally taken this appear to be small. Whether big or small Bribe is bribe and they must be arrested. Politicians take Commissions running into millions and since they are not bribes they bat safely without getting out. Only in Sri Lanka

Even the maximum fine is 25k for expired license. These greedy pigs have tried to rob the guy. Good job mate. Some of the law enforcement officers are corrupt and drug addicts. It is high time to get rid of such individuals. Specially the drug addicts.

If you bribe the wrong amount or the wrong people, you are in trouble.

This is not a suprise, the Bribery Commissioner must permanently keep a desk in each police station to catch those rogues, even the ASPs and DIGs are in similar positions of receiving kicks to execute the legal tasks.
