No charge for hoarding foreign currency illegally at home by the brother in law ,Chairman, Sri Lankan Airlines .This is the law of the Land one for his kith and kin and supporters and another for those who do not toe his line and dance to his tune.
Who cares for the Mahanayakes the Rulers do what they like

Leela / November 7, 2012
Leave those silly questions by dim-witted commentators aside, I do not think gamini has a memory lapse or a comprehension problem; he just act blind whenever he wanted to. Otherwise would he write; “The charge sheet against the CJ seem to revolve round the purchase of two housing units … long before she was appointed CJ, by MR.”
I am no lawyer, but I believe, I have experience and can comprehend English good enough to understand a charge sheet. If learned as he displays, gamini also should have noticed that item 1 above, clearly charge CJ for removing the bench that was hearing case nos. 262/2009, 191/2009 and 317/2009 and taking them under her and later buying two housing units referred in the list of properties belong to a company said cases were filed against.
Sure, CJ could evade both tax returns and the ownership problem like SB when he faced questions such as where he got money to build that luxurious house etc. Just like SB said his daughter in law had lend him the money, CJ also could say that her in-laws to be lend her Rs.1.9m to pay for those two housing units or the real owner is not her but her brother in Australia. Besides such answers open up another Pandora box, are such answers acceptable to laymen like us? No.
Two apartments being directly linked to court cases CJ herself presided, she should not have bought them under any circumstances. Surely, those two apartments couldn’t have been the only properties available in Colombo to buy.
On the other hand, if those apartments were offered to her at a bargain price by interested parties as prices reflect, it is obvious she couldn’t have resisted the temptation to buy them. As an outsider, I think, that’s what had happened.
Arranging power of attorney etc may give a cover in a court of law and a corrupt one at that but not at a select committee full of Mervins who looks at things like simple Simons do. I don’t know about gamini, but for me, Rs. 34 million in foreign currencies in twenty odd bank accounts operated by CJ is absolutely mind boggling. If that is true, CJ is not even pale white let alone lily white.
Like CJ, most Judges do not know or care about public opinion or their problems or their inconvenience. They are unto their own world and think only their respect and status. One only has to go to a rural court to experience it.
We see; politicians are scorned, ridiculed and mocked by cartoonists every day and day after for their faults and failings. We criticize them left right and centre. Moreover, if we do not like them, we get a chance to discard them in every six years. Even the President, we can send him home in every six years; last time we got that opening in just four years.
Unlike for politicians we fear judges. No one dares draw cartoons to tease upon judges or their judgments. Indeed it’s a risky thing to do even for a minister as SB learned it the hard way. Needless to say then, judges have to be above board. But are they? No. It’s a common knowledge that many judges have their favorite attorneys to do all sorts of deals under cover. Unlike politicians, public has no way to remove Judges however bad they were. Therefore, standard for judging judges have to be far above checking politicians in every way.

gamini / November 7, 2012
Harold Leelawardene, the masculine who posed as a feminine, my contention is that this CJ is no paragon of virtue. She is as corrupt as your other idols and MR supercedes all. The charges brought against her here, pales in to insignificance when you compare others and their activity. Here the CJ has to account for some Rs. 34 Million in the NDB bank. What about Wickremasinghe Chairman Air Lanka? MR’s Brother in Law? found with over Rs. 24 million stashed away at home?
Yes I comcede many Judges, Lawyers, Politicians and you Leelawardene inclusive are corrupt to the core. Can you or anyone else level such charges against Ranil Wickremasinghe as he also has held office.

Gamini, may be leela cant find her sexual orientation. That may be the reason her or his to use various pseudo names on and on
Ane habatama ratakata giya kala – claiming to have got doctoral level education – but behaving not second to Mervin.

Thanks, Leela, for clarifying things.
It sounds like lawyers are amassing wealth and property, while caring little about truth or justice, in Sri Lanka too.

PresiDunce Bean / November 7, 2012
This is a funny country we live in. The general who won the war was imprisoned on trumped up charges while terrorists like Karuna, Pillayan, KP, George Master and Daya Master are free. Thugs, drug dealers and murderers like Mervin and Duminda are members of parliament. People who go against the regime are abducted in white vans. Journalists are killed or made to vanish. TV stations are burnt and newspaper presses are vandalized. Military men with allegations of war crimes are sent as ambassadors abroad. The Chief Justice is going to be impeached for doing her job.The president of the country, defence secretary, speaker of parliament and minister of economic development are all brothers from one family and people still call this country a democracy. :)

Pandukabaya de Silva / November 8, 2012
yes, we may be the first banana republic in the world to put a Chief Justice in jail as much as we did to the former Army Commander!

Peter / November 8, 2012
Presidunce – You’re absolutely right. Isn’t it incredible?! And you still have the apologists like GL, Rajiva, Dayan, Malinda et al – all intelligent guys (although one still wonders about that!), well educated, sophisticated, and who ALL probably have a very low opinion (deep down) of the ruling triad and most of the bumpkins in the cabinet – still bowing and scraping. What a bunch of hypocrites!

Garry White / November 7, 2012
How come media minister Keheliya (kehel-mal) Rambukwella along with other Govt. ministers, JUST HOURS before the CJ impeachment motion brought before parliament vehemently denied in public that there is no such motion and the public is misled by false propaganda. Also many other ministers claim that they signed on BLANK PAPERS in President’s house. Many other admit that this impeachment is a revenge on CJ for blocking Divi Neguma bill. Let the truth come out from this case and the culprits are punished before public. Keep up and thank you for your good work CT.
/
Sam / November 7, 2012
Minister Kehelmal is almost like a parasite.In press briefings he behaves as if he is convinced everything about anything. But the reality is just leaving pallatable knowing the distasteful reality of what the issue is. This kind of lawyers are products of lanken law college.- SHI…. SHI… SHI… LANKENS ARE GONE TO DOGS… today. He can act however he thinks is fine. See, they the guys under MRs rule, behave as if the state and nation are their own property.

Is this the guy who jumped from 3rd floor hotel balcony in Australia and tried to commit suicide. May be he can’t remember anything after the fall.
/
Senguttuvan / November 7, 2012
Garry – Serious citizens long ago stopped paying any attention to Kehelmala who is nothing but air. What more, even MR or influential ministers never view him with any seriousness. When the fellow fell from that Australian hotel from the 3rd floor p..s drunk they expected they have seen the last of him.
He is kept to satisfy the records someone
from the Kandyan areas is given some importance. If you check his records carefully the man has been caught fumbling very often. But his most remarkable guffaw was in a Media Conference – at the time of the GSP+ when he was asked his views – he did not know what the heck it was. He turned to another dope aide who told him it is a tax from the EU. When he told the Conference this is a next tax, everyone burst out in laughter. He is one of our SENIOR ministers???

Leela / November 8, 2012
gamini,
Your values and principles must be getting a mouthful from me, otherwise why single out and pick on just me for using a pen name. Perhaps you are blind not to see many a commentator here uses pseudonyms. Pray tell why is it bad for me and not others?
You see, I am not using this forum to dig out or hit at personal lives of individuals using a pseudonym. All I have been trying to high light here in general is current political and economic point of view of the majority in Sri Lanka. Perhaps you wish someone would find my address and send a white van for me. If boorish and aggressive mobs of your ilk do not like my writing, I cannot help. For one thing; so long as moderator publishes my comments, I shall continue to post it.
Now, you chose to touch upon my gender and sexuality with adverse remarks. First, I must stress that I have no sexual orientation problem like your hero deem to have. I mean, I am not favourably disposed towards man-gala or ranil-gala types. I’d rather be straight. If you crave for more information about me, get in touch with the current UNP chairman he might help you out. Anyway, I cannot understand what relevance does my gender or education have to do with banters we humour here? There is no contest for a winner here is there? I am known to those that matter. I don’t like crazy people barge in where I live.
Next, a word about your man RanilW you are endeavouring so hard to promote: It’s a common knowledge now that the character of the man is such he just cannot represent the majority in this country. It’s no secret that RanilW’s policies and tactics made many a born UNPers like my family to abandon ship. So have very many top guns like Senanayakes, Mathews, Cooreys and etc. Buddies of RanilW, selected colombians, all types of evangelists and separatists sympathizers have gobbled up the grand old party. Their only hope is Rajapakses will be unpopular soon, and the presidency will be handed down to RanilW in a platter. You cannot see such reality from a far especially through a binocular with a green beam of light. I pity you.

GordonS & ShermanF (Nov 06) If you will permit me, Faizer M could not have contributed to the drafting. He is a mediocre lawyer who cannot
claim a practise worth mentioning. He cannot speak/write English too well. His advantage is his father – the able and brilliant Faiz M, PC. Many of us were shocked when the Jr was made a P.C. recently. He got into major politics by default due to the machinations of a plantation politician – afraid he might be caught for graft and corruption.
He thought having Senior Mustapha on his side helps – and so Jr was
thrust into plantatin politics, where he was unwanted. There was strong opposition from most members of the Party in question. Faizer eventually cut the neck of his leader and “jumped” to the Govt at the first opportunity. He can neither write well nor make a public speech.

The CJ should stand firm and not cave in..
This is war – so one sensible thing she can and should do is to go back and review the cases before her and vote with her conscience and not with the view to support the MR clan which she may have had the inclination to do. Specifically annul the Special Determination on the Expropriation Bill so that all properties and businesses robbed would have to be returned to lawful owners.
