"People lodge complaints with the Bribery and Corruption Commission and an opinion has established that the alleged are arrested. Though small fish are caught, measures are not taken to catch sharks, who are engaged in massive frauds. If an independent Bribery and Corruption Commission existed such unpleasant situation would not have emerged" said by the UNP Secretary for Elections and Ratnapura district parliamentarian, Thalatha Atukorale

She made these comments yesterday (02) addressing a media briefing held at UNP headquarters Sirikotha at Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte.

She further stated that bringing a catastrophe  to the country and the society the Police has been politicized and those police officers are to contest in the next election under United People's Freedom Alliance ticket.

"Chairman of the Committee on Public Enterprise (COPE) Senior Minister DEW Gunesekera presented two COPE reports to the parliament. However, there is no agenda to take legal actions against those who are convicted. As a result they further their frauds and corruptions," Atukorale added.
