Tactfully inefficient. When it is arresting Aragalaya persons, it is fast. Vaas is a senior Policemen, hench-aiya and Sinhalese which is the criteria to do thuggery and criminality with impunity. So 13y case is running, even the judges

13y still going on when the case looks very clear. We need to use technology and update everything. At the next election, please send intelligent youngsters to parliament from all parties. Defeat anyone over 45 and anyone who was a minister or state minister for more than 5 plus years as they have failed to update everything with latest technology.

Can we relax now? Saturday, 17 September 2022 01:47 PM

We can understand the influence and pressure on judicial officers, when the offender is a boot licker of corrupt Paks. The judges and duty conscious Govt. Servants, including Auditors are virtually paralyzed in this instant. What happened to Mihin Lanka Bond audit? With the Kandy to Colombo Pagamana, the matter had a natural death, I wonder! That is the last we heard of it.

People should reject all lawyers above 45 years. They are crooks too. The legal system in SL is way inefficient, sluggish and corrupt.
