Wimal Weerawansha's list of vehicles!

Former Minister Wimal Weerawansha and Deputy General Manager of the State Engineering Corporation Samantha Lokuhennadige were remanded till next 24th under the offences of misappropriation of vehicles. This is usually considered as something that is not welcome by any Minister as such. However, it is revealed from the list of vehicles stated in the 'B' Report relevant to the case that to the extent to which Wimal Weeravansha has squandered 900,000 lakhs by mishandling and using 90 vehicles go to prove that he is second to none. During the past regime it has been revealed that the 'Sinhala Ravaya' Organisation which put up an act of displaying to the public that they opposed certain actions of the government had in the
process was an organisation which operated by using 6 vehicles of Wimal. 

In the same way it is something special to note that he had been grateful enough to bestow vehicles to writers who were good enough to have his interviews published in leading newspapers. A person surveying the list of vehicles it is absolutely clear as to how he had treated his political Party as well as his kith and kin by bestowing vehicles with utter affection. After giving these vehicles to the State Engineering Corporation on a basis of hire and had been directed to Engineering sites, though he had requested the vehicles from the engineering sites saying that they were necessary, the said vehicles had not been given to them and instead directed for misappropriation, the police have explained. On the other hand he had handed over the vehicles to his close relatives by saying that those vehicles were attached to the Janasevana Project of the Minister. The list of vehicles as indicated by the 'B' Report presented by the police is as follows:
