If we buy a kabal van we are called up by the Inland Revenue people and demanded explanation as to the source of the money. What is taking so long to rope in the people who stole billions and billions.

FCID shall investigate Wattala Walking Path incident too as it is a financial crime committed against the state. the offence is non bailable. If the minister is at fault the should be arrested irrespective of political affiliations.
