Just think about it, Civil Society
Activists who have been at the forefront of bitter fights with previous
Governments, funded by Foreign NGOs are taking the space of people’s
representations for a new Constitution, similar to the for a illustrated in the
link below:
What is wrong with that? Plenty! As they
have been part of the process of discrediting the 18th Amendment and
in the forefront of the 19th Amendment, in short too engrossed in
the Rajapakse ineptitude and the subsequent reversal of their structure, to
really understand what it is Sri Lanka needs for the future!
They are all fossils of the past! Look
at the photo. Is there one ounce of originality in their thinking. They are
relics of a by gone age, completely out of tune with tomorrow. They MUST all be
dispatched to the history books gathering dust as they bear NO relevance to
what Sri Lanka wants for 2065, if this Country is ever to get there in one
piece not in ethnic terms, these fossils are lost in, but as a whole country,
where the air is clean, the water drinkable, and the land free of pollution and
degradation. There is NO point in their Constitution if it means a barren land with
no people to live in it.
The fundamentals of life is that people will
attempt to move to a more livable place from a less livable place in their own measurement
of that word! The proposals will only mean that those who can afford it will move
out of Sri Lanka leaving those who are unable to get out, scratching their heads
about what to do with the worthless freedoms some fossils of the past bequeathed
on them.
None of the jokers in the photo, will be
alive in 2065 to see the mess they created, and actually they don’t care, as all
of them just want to live out the rest of their lives with comfort and if possible
reflected glory on their contribution to the new Constitution. TELL ME IF I AM WRONG
PLEASE.
We NEED a constitution for the future, NOT
the present, and few understand this future, better than those born after 1st
January 1990. They are the real stakeholders of the constitution, as they will be
75 in 2065, and will reflect on their handiwork, and take responsibility for its
creation. We must include the best and brightest of this age of youth, in the constitutional
process, and NOT have any of the above involved, except ensuring that the legal
jargon and completeness of proposals to make certain provisions NOT open to interpretation,
that the young are usually weak in their eagerness for change!
