IT
IS IMPORTANT THAT THESE SEIZURES ARE FOLLOWED UP TO THE BITTER END – BECAUSE A BIGGER
FRAUD IS ABOUT TO BE PERPETRATED ON THE PUBLIC BY THOSE BOUND TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
INTEREST
This morning’s paper was full of the Customs
detection of a Container that contained parts of vehicles as well as a nearly new
Prado worth Rs30M that had been imported as used spare parts. See link:
This was imported by a regular importer of
used spares in Kurunegala. It is obvious then that it is common practice to falsify
the product descriptions and import cars and vans illegally, and sold through the
system to unsuspecting buyers.
Firstly I would like to know when this Prado
will be auctioned and HOW MUCH the customs will receive for it? I suspect a customs
officer will put in a bid for Rs2M and get it as the only bid. WHAT IS THE BET?
THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG. So the STATE HAS BEEN
DIDDLED OUT OF RS28M by the CUSTOMS OFFICERS THEMSELVES.
Who may I ask is the bigger rogue? Customs
officers or the importer! Where is this great media of ours when it comes to follow
up of what happens to this Prado? Is the Media also bought up by these unscrupulous
Government Servants on the take?
In this whole fiddle who are the suckers?
They are the unsuspecting hardworking tax paying poor family man in the villages
who has to work all hours to put food on the table, while those pretending to hold
responsible jobs and being servants of the people are screwing the same people they
are bound to protect.
Unless we change this culture of theft by
our Government Servants, before anyone else, we can never clean the system. Those
who should be showing the example for all of us to follow are those who are the
first accused. The Fourth Estate, namely the media are duty bound to protect the
Public with their scoops. Where are they in these follow ups?
