President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday told the Lankadeepa that searching UPFA MP Kumar Welgama’s garden for illegally keeping bulletproof vehicles was an immature act.
The President said the government was inconvenienced due to such immature acts.
“Whatever people say, I should say that it is an immature act,” he said.
President Sirisena said if police received information about keeping government vehicles illegally, there were ample methods and technical apparatus to search for them without engaging in immature acts.
He said such technical apparatus were available at the Geological Survey and Mines Bureau.
The President said he was not aware if it was done by the CID or the FCID and added that whoever did it, police came to disrepute for doing so.
He said what would happen at the end is people would just laugh at such acts.(Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)

Why did the President not use these equipment to locate the Lamborghini that Rajapakse's owned when he was elected the President?

The President is starting to interfere with the supposedly independent commissions... It's not a good sign for the country!

here go again! Remarks 2, another lullaby for JO from president.
Dee Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:33 PM
Yes. Now we see lots of immaturity.
Ruwi Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:35 PM
I think this is a deliberate and well planned statement to derail the JO. If JO agrees with what MY3 says on this issue that means JO is happy about the leniency of MY3 and FCID. If JO disagrees that means JO wants crooks on their side to be taken to task and there are many crooks. FCID is doing a GREAT JOB.

The entire Yahapalanaya is immature.

Why did the President not use these available equipment as soon as he won the election to find the Lamborghini vehicles that he said the Rajapakse's owned?

The President doesn't interfere, but only comments on shortcomings of authorities as an average citizen -A very good example to show how effective "Good Governance" is.
gamaati Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:51 PM
This is a message to police not to interfere with privileged politicians.
Balata Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:55 PM

Yeti Friday, 21 October 2016 08:21 AM
If he did have any such vehicles where would he hide them, in his garage???

Kadmin Thursday, 20 October 2016 11:27 AM
I think the president is immature to jump on every incident.
Concerned Citizen Thursday, 20 October 2016 11:33 AM
It is an immature act.And its high time the President steps in and sets his tone. Yea we want independent investigations. But these are silly. Searching for bullet proof vehicles at his residence.
kaboos Thursday, 20 October 2016 11:34 AM
Police have powers to check anybody with courts permission.

President is the Head of Government and if things are on wrong track then he should call up PM, Minister, Head of Police and teach them.
sidath wijeratne Thursday, 20 October 2016 01:36 PM
Why president is interfering with court orders it is contempt of court or is he trying to get points from welgama

Ciizen Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:03 PM
lmmature president makes immature statements.
vithura Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:21 PM
Why is the President commenting on operational matters of an agency, that should be the concern of the responsible minister of his cabinet. By getting involved in such non-strategic matters, not only is he demeaning the office of the President, but also risks being accused of partisanship.
Valan Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:26 PM
If there is a court case against Mr Welgama, the judge might ask the police whether they checked his residence and if not, the case might be dismissed. I am not legal expert but a possibility. I think the president is beginning to put his party before the country!
DillonDP Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:27 PM
Biggest Baby is Mithri,,, where he claims to no knowledge of anything????
SF Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:32 PM
President ordered Police to fire every vehicle in Mathugama area to identify whether they are bulletproof or not.
Lion Thursday, 20 October 2016 02:34 PM
position and status of presidency erodes rapidly the way the president is behaving.
