Quite apart from his faux pas (I don’t believe
it), or deliberate challenge (I believe it) to the authority of the President
to denounce in public his threat to take back Hambantota Port if ever he was in charge, (as if it ever
left Sri Lankan sovereignty) for the people of Sri Lanka, putting collective
Cabinet Responsibility into the trash heap, I believe he has been a double
agent right through his term in
office, and for that sin alone he should be guillotined.
Simply put he is a traitor to his
Government and has been so since its inauguration and the fact that both the
President and the Prime Minister tolerated his prevarication and procrastination for so long is simply astounding, as he has NOT achieved anything in his tenure.
His endearing engagement with the
President, evidenced by to bringing his son into the Ministry of Defence as a Media Secretary
was part of this game to report back, all manner of corruption taking place,
inform his masters like Gota of any shenanigan that can be used in the future against
the very same donkeys in the Yahapalana Government, shows that his paws have reached all corners. Giving him the Buddhasasana Ministry also was a calculated gamble that spectacularly failed.
Is it due to his knowledge of many
secrets usually jealously guarded by lawyers with more merit who treasure the
Attorney Client Privilege, and which those very same clients now realize his
blatent disregard of, to project his personage, that he has not already
been sacked?
The Government (the President and PM) is
placing too much weight on his influence on imbecilic leaders of the Clergy who
shout loudest and the Media print this shout, but who have NO weight in reality with the Clergy who matter most.
He is all loud, like a Goose once it is chased for dear life, but which no one
in the end will care about, once snuffed out.
The INDECISION of the PM and the
President is PAINFUL to the public to watch, when this man is running rings
round the Government and even the UNP MP’s who have been screaming for blood don’t
seem to be able to have the power to effect this change and move on.
In the interests of Good Governance and to
show the people, the ability of this administration to Govern effectively, this
is simply an appeal to the President to fire this man without having to give any
reason, and NOT worry about the beans he has threatened to spill, as his ouster
is more important than any harm his UNTRUSTWORTHY mouth can spew. It will only
be with a vengeance and blood lust and so will be without merit. (no pun intended in the Buddhist context)
What is important is that the people of
this Country are governed by people who have the Public's best interests at heart, and
if that is the ultimate criteria, Mr President you can do it without being
concerned about the WHAT Ifs!
