Looks like you have some very rich relatives. I guess if the police stop's and checks an unregistered car driven under the influence the so-called relative would not have called you or any of your staff. Must be a smooth-talking relative to get out of that soup.

So will he be arrested for his unlawful behaviour of escaping the scene of an accident before the police arrived? Was the car brought under the minister's permit scheme? Time to investigate and prosecute these all white color criminals. The country is sliding in to anarchy, thanks to our leader who has turned out to be the biggest betrayer of the Srilankan people.

Kabir said...."This accident is being dealt with by the relevant authorities and neither myself nor my personal staff have any involvement," We sure hope that is the case ..... but cannot help not noticing that the drunk driver fled the scene and later showed up at the police station was not arrested ... Is that the first sign of not getting involved ?

Relative - can't you be more specific, son, daughter, third cousin? Full disclosure is usually best. What is a poor country like ours doing having these expensive imports on the road anyway....shows contempt for the ordinary people who can't afford basic necessities.

This will be the usual response. My great grand father was rich. He had this amount of land. Our family inherited his money. So we don't have to engage in corruption to bring down luxurious vehicles.

Kabir is not politically rich, his family is rich and he has some decent businesses running. Just because he is engaged in politics, it is not always swindled money. The accident of course, will be politically handled, as is every other politicians relative. This is not new.

What is the difference between LAMBORGHINI and BMW I8, other than the price and the brand?

Accident happened on Saturday 17th Early morning and the so called culprit surrendered on 19th Monday. As usual time lapsed in consulting lawyers and probably Switching the driver with a good deal keeps everything closed, now get some report to say it's a mechanical failure and wash your hands! Guess the finger prints of the steering wheel and the 'so called culprit' would be ......

1st of all gratitude to Kabir MP for coming up with the facts. As others have pointed out, justice should be equal to all. But this haven't been the case as per the things unfolded so far, since the suspect haven't been taken into custody even though he had actually fled the seen. Very unprofessional from the Police as well on this aspect, especially in this day and age!
