What about keheliya? He was directly implicated by his staff, just finding scape goats it seems to pass blame and wrongfully imprison someone who was following ministers order, who made profit? The officials? Why would minister allow that? Obviously other way round, minister set up shady deal and told his staff do it don't question it, all politicians are rotten people

Unbelievable. 50 years ago when I was attached to Sri Lankan health services, ‘ director, deputy director of health services’ were highly respected powerfully disciplined jobs. Due to poor quality of doctors produced as a result of poor quality of students taken to do medicine,, standards have dropped. Wither Sri Lanka.

Why Keheliya is not arrested yet? Is this the rule and order in Sri Lanka? The accused have clearly stated in the court that they acted on the advice of Keheliya.

Why not arrest Ex NMRA CEO who destroyed documents before transfer to MRI

Kehelita cannot be arrested or touched cos 2/3rd parliamentary members is supreme parliament supported him against no confidence motion. Same with Choka boy. Also Pohottuwa was elected to power with a 2/3rd landslide victory he being one of the trusted MPs winning high number of voted. So he is certainly untouchable.
