Is Sri Lakan CID so inefficient? The customs detects large quantities of drugs, but why none of the big fish are caught? There is no way such large quantities can be imported into the country without large funding. Who is funding these imports? If the CID cannot catch these funders, the large fish then the head of CID and the secretary in charge should resign and hand the job over to a person or persons who can handle this properly.
Political filth involved so no one will be charged?
Agreed. Import of drugs in the name of sweet sugar. When will be the importer honoured?
