He defended his decision to import a state-of-the-art Mercedes Benz at a cost of over Rs 44 million for his (the Commander's) use. As the Commander of the Army, he said, he could not travel in a three-wheeler scooter, a Hi-ace van or a Toyota Corolla. He said he planned to purchase the vehicle upon retirement, a facility Commanders are entitled to. Lt. Gen. Fonseka charged that the media were silent when others in the armed forces imported such vehicles and only focused on him.
Lt. Gen. Fonseka declared that 2,000 soldiers were killed and a further 4,000 were wounded in the fighting with Tiger guerrillas last year. 'We have not given this to the media. If anyone present wants to give it, they are free to do so,' he remarked. He added that 5,000 Tiger guerrillas were also killed last year. He also spoke on eradicating corruption and the need for discipline at the conference that lasted 90 minutes
