A group of officers from the Police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) today searched UPFA MP Kumara Welgama’s residence at Horawala, Mathugama for bulletproof state vehicles.

The SIU had launched an investigation based on a complaint that the parliamentarian was illegally keeping bulletproof vehicles at his home.

However, Welgama’s media secretary said that vehicles belonging to the state were not found by the SIU officers during their inspection. (Bandu Thambavita)

This is a 400 acre land and SIU must have spend a lot of time to search the property.

Nothing wrong SIU did their duty, you have no right to blame anyone. don't try to show off your old bumpy powers Welgama.

May be you would have hidden both bullet proof cars elsewhere knowing SIU will come. You are a cunning archer that we know.

Hay Welgama, don't bluff. Leave the Officers to perform their entrusted job.

99% JO gangsters are up to corruption and they have robbed in billions. It is the duty of our Govt. to check

Welgama is not a Super Man. Most of the JO rotters are crooks.
