Is this a complete distraction from Govt. to hide their litany of woes?



It is clear that none of the MPs who signed the document requesting the impeachment of the CJ had read what they were signing or knew the 14 point allegation against the CJ. They just did what they were asked to do, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! History will judge these subservient sycophants,  who will be seen as people with no backbone to sign an unknown document! When will they next sign their own death warrant? It will not be too long as it is now clear that our legislators are incapable of making up their own minds, and worse are signing documents unseen at their own peril.

After all the President who keeps a list of signed undated, resignation letters of all Ministers will not hesitate to use them when he feels it is the time, and it is fair to say on behalf of ALL ministers in this Government that they perform their jobs by the grace and favor of one man alone, in FEAR!

The impeachment motion so prepared, now distracts all manner of important state business, so that the country cannot move forward. These distractions only make us move in reverse. Further the 14 points of the Impeachment motion, do not amount to a hill of beans, as it helps criminals hide their crimes by accusing the judges of more blatant violations than the so called legislators are currently engaged in.

Further more to the point, the Constitution of Sri Lanka, now permits the PSC of MPs to act as judicial officers over the case, and in a sense murderers and thugs who constitute many in the ruling party within it will officiate and determine if the Chief Justice of this country is to be impeached and make the recommendations prior to a vote that only requires a simple majority so to do! Think about it, what a farce?

I have in the interests of good governance advocated that the UNP get a majority of members in the PSC instead of the Government. They along with any other members of the PSC representing minority parties, will be able to rule on the issue in a more objective way than govt. especially MPs who only perform on cue, and are not able to exercise their own opinions on the matter for fear of losing title, perks, and other honor-aria of office. This then will appear to independent observers that if a legitimate case was made, that it would be heard clearly, in an unbiased manner giving the defendant the assurance of a fair trial instead of a witch-hunt, and appropriate disciplinary action taken without delay, if deemed fit.
