Those who had questionable pasts as politicians connected to underworld will top the list in the threat assessment and those who were straight and honest will not have a place in the list

People who are asking for security are guilty for being involved in illegal actions or transactions and are afraid their actions will be brought to light.

Provide them security at their cost and ask them to pay the bill. Then let’s see how many of them will need security.

Never add even one Security personal to Mahinda, Sirisena, Ranil and Chandrika but can pull out Security personal from them and save some millions.

One suggestion Sir. Get 2-roomed apartment for MR, CB and MS and have 2 Police Officers commonly, one Ambulance, one common car, 3 domestic servants. Yes - this is more than enough. By this Our Government could save so many billions, believe me.

Very good idea. AKD shift Mina Mahinda and his wife who robbed the T-Sunami money. Keep a common doctor, one housemaid with an ambulance this is more than enough.

President is going to cycle to the parliament with his security. We must save money and make sure we must stay healthy unlike unelected master debating ex president who loves mile high club with his foreign chefs to cook his sausage to be tasty.
