Call for accountability on offences by VIP vehicles
Nov 27, 2016
Transport Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva has been asked to reveal to the public the number of accidents and the traffic offences committed by vehicles belonging to VIPs or those being used by VIP convoys.
A letter sent to de Silva by the National Movement for the Protection of Consumer Rights has called on the minister to look into these incidents and reveal to the public the instances where the authorities had failed to take action against such offenders.
The movement has also condemned the Minister’s actions to defend the increase of fines for traffic offences by showing statistics of motor vehicles accidents and traffic offences.
