    Yes judicial system is slow - he should be in jail for this and also passport racket by now and not in remand.

    I think he can finish the book he is writing. It is a blessing in disguise for him.

    Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 20 February 2017 10:48 PM

    Even he is sent to hell, no one will come to save him as he was such a criminal.

    J Palitha Monday, 20 February 2017 10:14 PM

    This man should have been sent behind bars long ago. Ok without further delay, keep this fellow sent to count the bars of the jail soon.

    SureshP Monday, 20 February 2017 04:27 PM

    He looks so happy to be there. Please Judge, let him enjoy it for much longer.

    Thank you DM for giving this GOOD NEWS promptly.

    Perera Monday, 20 February 2017 03:18 PM

    Have a nice time see you after FIVE years.

    Shan Monday, 20 February 2017 01:21 PM

    This is your Karma or God's act on you Wimal. How much you insulted and played a negative role against former Chief Justice to get her impeached.

    upali Monday, 20 February 2017 01:02 PM

    This judicial system has some problems as without clear evidence for prosecution accused men have to languish in remands, Very Unfair.

    Sanju Monday, 20 February 2017 12:58 PM

    Superb

    sobers Monday, 20 February 2017 12:54 PM

    A destructive force in Srilankan Politics!

    Jonson Monday, 20 February 2017 12:21 PM

    The government should recover the lost from him. The amount occurred by him to the country. via DM Android App

    J Palitha Monday, 20 February 2017 12:18 PM

    It is better that Weerawansa should admit all his wrong doings and repay the money and surrender to the Police and make his way to the jail permanently.

    German Jacob Monday, 20 February 2017 12:16 PM

    What a relief, what a good news this afternoon. Thank you Hon. Judge who handled this case righteously.

    Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 20 February 2017 12:13 PM

    Why only until 6th next month? it should have been for six more months....
