It too 3 yrs. to bring the criminals to Courts and may take13 yrs. to conclude - as Police in Service are involved. The Minister for Justice should consider a special Court to try out all case that have had political connections for diversion. The Rajapakse family will involve in appearance in such a venue for a few yrs. to conclusion.

If the new Govt wants the continued support of the people, the Govt should prosecute these kinds of criminals in police uniforms to the fullest extent of the law.

If one analyses all the crimes that has taken place, we notice the Police is somehow involved. It is time for the current Justice Minister and honest officers from the Tax Department to investigate all Police officers as to to their standard of living in relation to the salary they are earning. This also applies to all legal officers including Judges.

EbathogTheir is not one policemen including the IGP who has not received and accepted a "gift" in any form from someone for a special thank you or favor, I challenge this. Once upon a time, the police service comprised of disciplined above board policemen known as "kochchiya", and they were from minorities such as burghers, tamils and malayalees. Unfortunately after the infiltration by the Sinhalese, these depts. are now wrecked and shameful in all forms.
