By Colombo Telegraph –
“The appointment of former Attorney General Mohan Peiris as Sri Lanka’s new Chief Justice raises serious concerns about the future of the Rule of Law and accountability in the country2 says , the International Commission of Jurists.
Mohan Pieris
Mohan Peiris has served in a variety of high-level legal posts in the past decade, always playing a key role in defending the conduct of the Sri Lankan government.
He served as Sri Lanka’s Attorney-General from 2009 to 2011. Since then he has served as the legal adviser to President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Cabinet.
“During his tenure as Attorney-General and the government’s top legal advisor Mohan Peiris consistently blocked efforts to hold the government responsible for serious human rights violations and disregarded international law and standards,” said Sam Zarifi, ICJ’s Asia director.
“Mohan Peiris’ appointment as the new Chief Justice, after a politically compromised and procedurally flawed impeachment, adds serious insult to the gross injury already inflicted on Sri Lanka’s long suffering judiciary.”
The International Commission of Jurists, in its recent report on impunity in Sri Lanka, highlighted Mohan Peiris’ lack independence as Attorney-General, noting the alarming number of cases involving prominent politicians that were withdrawn during his tenure.
In November 2011, as Attorney General, Peiris told the UN Committee Against Torture in Geneva that political cartoonist Prageeth Ekneligoda, believed to have been subjected to enforced disappearance in January 2010, had actually left Sri Lanka. In June 2012, Peiris admitted to a court in Colombo that this claim was groundless.
“ICJ condemns this appointment as a further assault on the independence of the judiciary and calls on the Sri Lankan government to reinstate Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake. If there are grounds for questioning the Chief Justice’s actions, they should be pursued following due process and a proper impeachment process.”
NOTE:
In a statement today (Click here), Justice Bandarayanake strongly denied all the charges against her and asserted her status as the legal Chief Justice of Sri Lanka’s supreme court. She said: “I have suffered because I stood for an independent judiciary and withstood the pressures. It is the People who are supreme and the Constitution of the Republic recognizes the rule of law and if that rule of law had prevailed, I would not have been punished unjustly.”

When you have politicians like those who are leading and are supporting UFPA, you do not need any outside forces to bring Sri Lanka down. Our ruling party leaders and politicians will do it by themselves. As long as LTTE was there, there was some rule of law in the areas outside LTTE rule. Now that they are gone, the politicians have turned against the rest of Sri Lanka, especially against the Sinhala masses for their own benefit. If what has happened to the Shirani who is the Chief Justice, can you imagine what could happen to a civilian? Where is Democracy and Rule of Law in Sri Lanka?

So MARA Finally got Rid of CJ after using her to get throug 18th amendment.This is worse than Saudi Sharia Law.
MARA Jailed Gen.Sarath Fonseka after using him to win the war.
MARA used India, US, Norway, EU to win LTTE war saying that he will implement 13th amendment, and now he hoodwinked all of them.Not even Darusman report or LLRC report were ever implemented.
What is Next MARA have in mind…….now after taking over both Legislature and Judiciary under his (Dictator’s) Executive’s arms.
What Did all the opposition parties did Until allowing MARA dictator to do whatever he want with his Pariah Brothers to Loot the country’s wealth, made reporters, journalists, and human right activists to disappear in white vans, intimidating, harassing and jailing Nothern tamil brothers and sisters etc…etc..
Opposition with Ranil betrayed all of us UNP’ers and the citizen for not fighting for their rights.
MR.RANIL PLEASE LEAVE UNP FOR GOOD WITH RESPECT NOW, BEFORE WE KICK YOU IN SHAME. YOU ARE THE JOHANA IN THE PARTY….PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE…LEAVE.
Basil Just stole 85 Billion Rupees Divineguma Fund. He is planning to recruit over 100,000 party members Just as administrators LEAVE ALONE THE POOR BENEFACTORS OF THE FUND.Fifty percent (50%) of the fund will be spent just to pay salaries of these administrators. WHERE IS THE REST OF THE 85 BILLION FUND GOING TO GO…….OTHER THAN BASIL’S POCKET.
Seventy percent ( 70%) of the Budget is spent to manitain Rajapakse Government administration and on Security.
Seveny percent (70) of the Population are malnutrished. In Afganistan it is only (50%) fifty percent.
Sixty percent (60%) of the people live in cadjan (tin and coconut leaf roofs) houses……similar to VEDDA (Native) community live……60 years after independence.
THEREFORE SINCE THERE IS NO CONSTITUTION I DON’T SEE ANY REASON FOR OPPOSITION PARTY MP’S TO ATTEND PARLIAMENT.
IF THE GOVT.CAN RUN THE COUNTRY ALONE….WHY IT NEED AN OPPOSITION. IT’S TIME FOR OPPOSITION TO LEAVE PARLIAMENT AND GET INTO STREET TO PROTEST.
I HOPE THE JUDICIARY WILL GIVE AN EGG AND TOMATO BUFFET LUNCH FOR THE NEW CJ WELCOME PARTY.
PLEASE DON’T BE SINHALA PONNAYA AND SHOW YOUR MANHOOD BOTH TO MARA AND NEW CJ.DON’T GET SCARED TO BUFFALO POLICE AND SECURITY DEPT.
If not in Sri Lanka…..we will definitely get MARA [Edited out] outside.
WE ARE STILL WITH YOU MADAM CJ SHIRANI BANDARANAYAKE.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

The President that affirmed to protect and uphold our constitution at his 2 or 3 swearing in occaisions violates the constitution.

Villager / January 16, 2013
When Sri Lanka CJ decided to stay put in spite of a PSC inquiry and found her guilty by a 2/3 majority in parliament and fired by the President who was directly elected by the people, international papers predicted and kept on writing that there will be a constitutional crisis in Sri Lanka. But everything continues happen smoothly except for an odd clash or two on other matters which is usual. This constitutional crisis is only an expectation of ali, koti and reds (failed political affiliates) and beneficiaries and benefactors of NGOs.
It’s no secret that western neo-colonial countries were not happy with President Rajapakse for he had defeated LTTE without dancing to their tunes and giving in to their demands. So, immediately after the war, they found a puppet and tried to elect him to the presidency. But majority voters in Sri Lanka knew their game and defeated him by a large margin. Conspirators realised that President Rajapakse is very popular hence cannot be defeated by ballot. So, beneficiaries and benefactors of NGOs sought regime change by some other means. They tried fisherman spring, Katunayake spring, FUTA spring or many other springs. But they failed to bring about any kind of Arab spring here. Then they turned to untested waters: A Haultsdrop coup through the ousted CJ.
It all started like this: The CJ started to ignore all the strictures placed on her by Justice Mark Fernando’s judgement that she was cleared to take up the appointment at SC. Accepting the argument that Shirani B has her own preconceived opinion on devolution related matters, Justice Fernando ruled that it was not a detriment to be a judge but had advised her not to sit in a bench on devolution related cases and matters. Instead of objecting her openly flouting ruling by Justice Fernando, the so-called civil society secretly rallied around her to follow suit. One only has to follow surgical procedures she followed in her court administration to understand the gravity of the situation. Shirani B had clearly put the agenda of beneficiaries and benefactors of NGOs over that of the country as the CJ.
In the end, ex CJ Shirani B had gone so far as to compelled her judges of the Court of Appeal to give a British common law judgement ‘Writ of Certiorari’ that never ever was issued by a British judge to the speaker of British parliament. Through an interpretation of 107 (3) by her own SC she had made an Appeal Court bench issue ‘Writ of Certiorari’ to the speaker of Sri Lanka parliament with her own application to it. It is on such a judgement that she claims that she is still the CJ. And that judgement, apparently is a world record for it had commenced hearing on a court holiday, and at 1.30 pm finished it at 3.30 pm and the judgement was delivered at 4.30 pm on the same day by three judges. As had previous speakers rejected earlier court rulings on parliamentary matters, current speaker too has rejected ‘Writ of Certiorari’. Free media is ripe in Sri Lanka. So, we the people have come to know all that and more in detail. Entire set of court hearings during the last few months have become a joker’s act for them.

Why can’t you ask your pandits to give her an impartial ” hearing” is every citizen’s right according to the constitution. Still you can ask them to establish a Court, presiding Mohan Peiris, other two Shirani Thilakawardena and Sathya Hettige with TWO other Judges.
Forward all 14 charges, call all the witneses and allow to cross EXAM them. We all can see the result.

Mr Wondering / January 16, 2013
This is the first time in Sri Lanka’s history that a openly partisan man has been appointed as Chief Justice. We had Sarth Silva who was also like that but because he came from the judiciary, AGS department background it was not so obvious.Also Sarth Silva as much as possible hid from us his connections with politicos. And when in public sarath tried to act like an equal . Also Sarth Silva does not appear to have got personal favours from the politicians except for perhaps the covering up of his sexual escapades near the parliament.He also became a powerful person who could assist his cronies through politicians.
After that we had Asoka Silva who also came from the judiciary. He was a very mediocre person and was a sort of a non-entity and did not matter much. In his case he was happy with what ever benefits he could obtain for his family and himself. These were generally small things like an official car and a phone after retiring.Maybe jobs for his children .
Mohan Pieris on the other hand is a whole hearted supporter of the Rajapakse family.Although he is a church going christian he goes for every buddhist function at temple trees. He even went to gangaramaya for the high priests B’day( Yes they are also celebrating them now). When he went to the Chief Justice’s office to take over with about 50 policemen there was a pirith ceremony ! After that he addressed the few SLFP lawyers who had gathered there in English. He said to them ” I was also a lawyer similar to you guys..” So now we all know what Mohan pieris thinks of the professional ethics of the SLFP lawyers who were there” I was also a lawyer similar to you guy…” ! !
Apparently a very senior lawyer had called President Rajapakse and objected to the appointment of this hypocritical man. But Rajapakse is supposed to have said ” What can I do ? I offered the post to 6 Supreme Court Judges. They refused to accept.I then offered it to 3 senior and respected lawyers. They also said no. So I had to appoint Mohan Pieris. Mohan Pieris is the only one who will accept any job I give him ! ! “
Need we say more about the new Chief Justice.

We can thank Mr.S.L. Gunasekara for Castigating any person accepting the CJ’s job in advance. So we get what Mr.SLG whished for us!

“This is one Sri Lanka. We must ensure that the law meets the aspirations of all Sri Lankans. I am confident that the legacy of a 2,500-year-old legal system will continue to thrive,” he said, addressing members of the Bar.”- Mohan Peiris, on his visit to the Suoreme Court yesterday.
2500-yea-old legal system?? We know now what we are in for and the constitution and the rule-of -law will have nothing to to do with it. The cat is inadvertantly out of the bag!!

aj / January 16, 2013
Folks!
What you reap is what you sow!
A nation elects a government it deserves!!
These timeless classics are just popping in
my mind.
So argument of charactor and their political lineages is a ZERO Sum game.
Let us focus on what is happening and how recent elections and campaigns and the results were telecast on public TV.
The Government owned Rupavahini and ITN completely demonized Gen. Fonseka nd indentified him with Idi Amin and Hitler.
The channels never had a moment of silence on attacking him relentlessly and it came to a point of moulding the public frame of thinking to a point where a perfectly alright sinhal word ‘Kalavedda’ a slip of toungue by Gen Fonseka was highlighted by majority( especially women folks!) as vulgar and decided that Gen. Fonseka is not decent person( such is the power of media demonization) and MR was a clean , humane, baby kissing , old hugging Gentleman.
The stooges who ran the show like then Chairman ITN , Anura Siriwardhan look where he is today( secretary to Minister of Trade or something).
Where is Gen. Fonseka, lost his pension, all his lifetime achievemnts( stripped the mamoth honor of leading a WAR against the most ruthless Terrorist organization inth world), served Jail terms and remains licking his wounds at home , sent to the political Boonies ( for now at least).
So contrasting what we have achieved by appointing MR as executive and the bucnh of thugs like Mervin ( I mean the whole Goverment MP lot altogether) have we got a dignified Governance by decently speaking Gentlemen?.
Let us be honest what can we expect for CJ from such a bunch of crooks led by a crook who promissed to eliminate Executive presidency but extended it for life instead!.
Has anybody thought about retired CJ becoming a Presidential advisor( Asoka de Silva) ever?
Such a country we all live in.
How about moral conduct of Tie wearing Busddist Ideology preacher Ex CJ Sarath N. Silva?
So as a nation we are responsible of leaving the continuous erosion of democrac(Z)y starting from JR downwards and letting it slip by.
Have we raised against any of these as a nation?
NO so what do we expect from the recent debacle further erosion and keep mum about it.
So the drama goes on, UNLESS some educated professional who has done something in their lives, proven and delivered to the nation( can we say that to any of the current lot of Politicians?) come to the fore and stand up.
I can tell you one person who promissed and delivered, Gen. Sarath Fonseka.
He said I will not let this LTTE menace pass to the next Army Chief and he delivered.
So Until we learn to appoint leaders who delivered, PROVEN . Professional as a leader we are doomed, we can keep arguing mere morsels like Ranil, how best he could have done etc etc.
Leaders are born( once in a while) they can’t be created by propping up 80′ cut outs.
Leaders can ONLY be judged by their past performance and let us honestly ponder how many such leaders have we appointed to the parliament in the past.
Answer NONE!!!
So what can we expect?
What else other than bigger and bigger messes and monumental blunders like this!!!!
So PEOPLE! Unite. think right, select a leader and flock around him / her and save the nation from thugs, hooligans, International conspiracies of all sorts( not the ones that vagabond Wimal Uruwansa preaches).
I can give you an example of recent past what we need.
The struggle of University teachers( I have questions about how it was ended) but such is the struggle ahead of us after identifying a leader I outlined above.
Let him be the sole Authority of power( we need it to stop all our mothers being exported to middle east, to put a stop to complete destruction of Social Fabric and when Father abusing his own daughter as mother is not around to satisfy him!!!
( I write this with shaking hands and tears in my eyes.)
Let us stop crying for the beheading of the innocent girl and think about how a teenager below 18yrs secure employment in a foreign land when the law is to prohibit it in the land she was born.!!!
So without crying foul by looking at the outcome let us focus on the root cause and work on it earnestly else forget about all that and think of packing for a foreign land where you will have atleast peace of mind.
Let us make a new year resolution and let us make some changes NOW!

aj and Sri lal,
I agree with both of you. But see my following points.
1)Who increased the MP’s to 225 from around 125 in 12 years.
2)How come three MARA brothers 80% of Budget and cover almost all the
ministries….except religious, social affaira, education, power and health.
3)Who messed up our EU GSP status ….thereby loosing over 100,000 jobs and closing down over 600 factories and businesses.
4)With Divineguma bill BASIL plan to recruit 100,000 party members as administrative staff alone. The math is 100,000 x 20,000 P.P. monthly salary = 2 Billion rupees per month = 24 Billion p.year.
5)Other Travel+Utilities+Printing+drivers+Food & Lodging+advertising and other costs will definitely hit another 6 Billion rupees.
6)Therefore annual Marginal cost is 30 Billion Rupees.
7) A)Therefore How long Basil plan to Run this Program….
b)How much(how many rupeers per person) he plan to give to real poor . people who are in this program to start up business…and to how . . many people….

b)How much(how many rupeers per person) he plan to give to REAL POOR . . PEOPLE who are in this PROGRAM to start up business…and to how . . many people are in the program….
. c)How many people are going to cover under Pension Plan……
d)There are also 17,000 Samurdhi beneficiaries to be absorb to . . Divineguma Bill.
THEREFORE WITH COLOSSAL OVER HEADS AND HIGH ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS……THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE BENEFICIARIES GET IS AROUND 25% (twenty five percent) of total Bill OF 85 BILLION.
I think this Divineguma is a total Flop.
Please give me your feed back.

Prof ANI Ekanayaka / January 16, 2013
In a civilised society a judge derives his dignity and authenticity not by virtue of a title, not through a piece of paper signed and handed over to him by a president amidst pompous ceremony, not by the imposing heavy robes of his office, nor by the vain repetition of loud and prolonged religious incantations as he assumes duties. Rather a judge commands public respect and confidence, by the public perception of his sturdy political independence, wisdom, and high integrity as personified by the late great Justice Mark Fernando. By such standards and the appalling circumstances sorrounding his own appointment – Mohan Pieris is nothing.

If Sri Lankans have any sense whatsoever, they will not listen to anything the West says since all that the West wants is to destabilise and dismember Sri Lanka. This much I am certain of. If Sri Lanka is to develop and attract foreign investment, the country needs stability . No investor is going to invest in an unstable country. So stability good, instability and uncertainly, bad. No tourist is going to visit an unstable country either.
Don’t listen to anything the West says, China and most of the world’s fastest growing economies in the developing world, they don’t give two hoots about what the West advises them to do or not to do. Sri Lanka should follow their example.

Senguttuvan / January 16, 2013
I wish to share in the sentiments expressed by Prof Ekanayake here. The late, thoroughly learned and respected Justice Mark Fernando was sidelined tastelessly. Had he veered towards a public show of the injustice done to him, he could have divided the legal fraternity and perhaps the country. But he chose the interest of the profession and the country. He probably died prematurely due to the pain caused to him in a profession he could have contributed so much more. He suffered personally but did not allow the judiciary to be dragged in the mud. That is calibre, class and upbringing.
When Mrs SB – who really should be Mrs Kariyawasam – foolishly tried to play politics even when she was leaving the official quarters saying “I am with you – the people” she also gave glimpses of her ignorance and inexperience in public affairs. Comparatively, former CJ Sarath Silva was miles ahead in the laws, erudite writing, excellent public speaking, study of human nature. Above all he was given into shady opportunity and sheer craftiness unbecoming of his stature.

Just because SN Silva can speak on the stages, easily manipulating the masses it is not right to say that he was better for politics than Mrs SB. Not to forget that Silva is the one who should be responsible for all the problems that UNP and the country facing today.

To both Sri Lala and Jayantha ( above).
The recent DiviNeguma Circus is already in to the fore.
The Gramasevak in my area has a campaign to build a house to the poorest family in the area under ‘eradicate poverty’ program under ‘Divi neguma’
Dah!!! they are collecting money and other grants from the neighboours, while Basil is busy recruiting(party loyalist) 100,000 from the Samurdhi money!
Thus strengthening the cadre for next election campaign to deceive the STUPID lot( 98$) of the citizenry.!
In fact I was hoping to build a house for that family on my own ( single handed) now I have doubts about even contributing to theis malicious political manouvering at the expense of residents in the Area.!!!
So my disgust will cause that pooe family even not getting a pittance from a genuinely keen neighbour like me!!!
Now you an imagine the kind of stinking mess this ‘Chinthana’ clique has created in this country.
I would also want to emphasise I am not a politician and I have not serious affiliation to any political party but a decent professional who stand on his two feet and came back to Sri lanka after spending a long hiatus but now so frustrated and thinking my next move though I love and thrive in this country.!!!!

aj,
We all know that the whole MARA family are ACE CROOKS.
Starting from Tsunami,Samurdhi, Divineguma, all china projects upto now the whole family is upto robbing the country every day. My father has told never bring even a blind cat from Mara’s home town…weeraketiya, Beliatta area….when I was doing Marketing.
Now MARA came to Colombo and Ruined not only Sri Lanka….but brought disgrace to it in front of whole world. They are like Leeches…not leave ever you feed shit to them That’s their nature. See Mervin Silva …another MARA’s goon. Also MARA brought all Hambantota Crooks to Colombo and planted them in Kelaniya, kiribathgoda, Mahyara,Kolonnawa, Mahawatta, Thotalanga area and now they are the ones doing Drug Business in Sri Lanka.
Please go to WWW. ask.com and type Basil Rajapakse and you will see all his dealings. Basil has a US $4.5 million house in USA. His assistant got caught with a suit case load of US Dollars at US customs when he wevt to his daughter’s wedding to USA.
These crooks are robbing the country Daylight while poor Rizanas die every day in Saudi.
Poor CJ Dr.Shirani Bandaranayake was humiliated and kicked off, while her husband also unemployed. She has a young son to take care while MARA buy Lamborghinis to his fuc…ng thieves sons.
I don’t know why we don’t have a single patriot like the Tig….s to Fu…k these ass ho..es.
This Cursed family will vanish like dust very soon.
Take care.
