Is this a joke. Where can you hide so many vehicles. Surely the Sri Lankan police are not that inefficient. Why are the authorities still pussy footing around without arresting MR Gothabaya and the entire family who is supposed to have bought so many buildings by using their power and stolen so much money during their tenure. Before the presidential election the UNP and MS they were going around making statements that they had proof and even mentioned amounts that were stolen. So if all of those statements were true then why are they not taking any action. Or were those statements just made up stories to hood wink the public in SRi Lanka who are unfortunately mostly naive and will believe any story they hear.
Fed up of hearing accusations, no action. All the culprits are walking around freely, some have left the country. I am sure some of them are now with the new government. It wont be easy to take action.
