Excellent... not only this incident but all incidents need to be revitalized and investigated. No stone should be left unturned.

All Deputy Ministers posts should be eliminated and other unwanted politicians positions. Waste of public money.

Following a due process these criminals should be punished to the highest extent the law calls for.

What about that Muthuhetigama from Galle who is still avoiding arrest and is in the open. Get that fellow and book him for his misdemeanours.
