The Government Fears Gatherings Of Judges And Prevents The Funds

By Colombo Telegraph

The government has withdrawn its sponsorship for the annual programme of the Judicial Service Association. On that basis this prevents the UNDP funds for being utilised for this meeting. However, it is reported that the judges will proceed with the meeting for one day with their own personal contributions. 

Vasudeva Nanayakkara

“Judicial Service Association (JSA), the association of the judges of the original court,  had organised the Annual Judges Conference, sponsored by the UNDP – under the  Equal Access to Justice Programme, which is scheduled for 21 and 22nd of December 2012. This programme comes under the Ministry of  Languages and Social Intrigration Vasudeva Nanayakkara. The Secretary to the Ministry Malkanthi Wickramasinghe had informed the JSA on 18th December that the Minister does not wish to sponsor this conference, notwithstanding the MOU singed and an advance  being paid for the venue of the Conference. Thus the sponsorship of UNDP has been withdrawn officially due to arbitrary and politically motivated decision of the Ministry.” says the Lawyers Collective .

The JSA has however  decided to hold the conference at the original venue, Taj Samudra Hotel but limited to one day (i.e. 22nd December), with the voluntary contributions from the Judges themselves. Chief Justice Bandaranayaka will be the chief guest while Justice Wigneswaran will be the key note speaker.
“In a further development there is uncertainty whether the vehicles (cars)  that had been imported recently for the use of Superior Courts Judges (Court of Appeal and Supreme Court)  would be released to the judges.” the Lawyers Collective further says. 

Meanwhile issuing a statement the Asian Human Rights Commission says;Obviously, the government has tried to stop this annual gathering where the judges normally spend two days and also have the opportunity to interact with each other and to socialize. The obvious fear would be that the judges will naturally talk about the threat faced by the independence of the judiciary in Sri Lanka. Recently many events of concern have happened such as the attack by a minister with others on the Magistrate’s Court and the High Court of Mannar. The magistrate complained also that he was threatened by the Industries Minister Risath Bathiudeen. A contempt of court issue as well as criminal is pending on the matter. Then there was the attempted kidnapping and assault on the Secretary of the Judicial Service Commission. Above all there is the attempt to get rid of the Chief Justice after the Supreme Court had given a ruling adverse to the government.”

      Let’s aim to IMPEACH MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE and his corrupt cronies like Vasu!
      Contrary to what the disgraceful Vasudeva Nanayakkara, a dead leftist politician who has sold his soul for a mess of pottage may say, the judiciary and principles of NATURAL JUSTICE AND DUE PROCESS are of a higher order than any legislature or parliament full of political thugs and clowns or a lying and corrupt executive president.
      Mahinda Rajapakse and his corrupt family and politcal cronies must be held accountable and their immunity and impunity stripped for lying and bringing institutions into disrepute. MR’s corrupt and criminal brothers, and the clowns and thugs of the Kangaroo Court in the Diya-wenna Parliament’s PSC must go – they have caused great harm and disrepute to the sovereign people, the judiciary and legislature of Lanka and must be impeached and/or forced to resign!

    I too lament the fall of this great man. For decades he toiled for his principles just to succumb to temptation in his last mile in politics. He will be remembered for his vote for the 18th amendment and now the sad role of justifying the impeachment. No insults are necessary. Vasu is no fool not to realize his own fall.

    In 1982 Vasu did his best to help JR win the referendum by asking people to boycott it. Stupid thing to do if one wants to defeat such a move by those with so much power and resources in their hands. He should have thrown his (puny?) weight behind the move to DEFEAT the purpose of the referendum. It resulted in denying the vote to new young voters for 6 more years, probably propelled the JVP uprising a few years later and consolidated JR’s robber barons approach to life here. Of course, Vasu didnt go as far as SLFP youth organiser Basil Rajapakse who didnt beat about the bush with a woolly call for a boycott, but simply betrayd his party and supporters and joined hands whole heartedly with JR on pro referendum platforms!

      a pile of rubbish, the scum of the earth, a political prostitute that Colombo Telegraph uses to pi** piss peole off. His very image reminds us of everything that is wrong and devious and hollow and backboneless. Vasu voted for 18th ammendment. He is a protitute.

    It is a cowardly act of Vasudeva Nanayakkara. He did not have the courage like the CJ. It is surprising that Vasudeva Nanayakkara behaves like this when Justice Vigneswaran is said to be delivering the key note address. Vasu being a lawyer should have behaved like a lawyer.

      What do you expect from a turncoat. He does not have any support from the masses and only way he can be Minister is by saying “yes Sir no Sir three bags full sir” to the President. These are spent force and have to be kicked out of the legislature. What a shame! Educated Fool!

    This dastardly bastard Vasu is a shame on the soil of this land. Once this rogue regime is destroyed by Sri Lanka Spring special laws must be created to arrest these bastards like Vasu, Panchayda, all the dustbin- mouthed liars, shameless media people, politicians, policemen, army navy air force personnel etc. who committed and held all the citizenry antagonistic things and views and punish them with rigorous life-long imprisonment along with their family members to set an example to any bastard in the country who would think of doing same crimes in the future!

    Here’s what Google say about Language Minister Vasudeva Nanayakkarsa.

    Vasudeva calls for tax hikes
    Published : 12:01 am October 10, 2012 | 184 views | No comments so far | | E-mail to friend
    The Rajapaksa administration is presently struggling with no revenue says Minister of National Languages and Social Integration Vasudeva Nanayakkara, suggesting that the quickest way to find money is to impose more taxes.
    Nanayakkara emphasises that “those who can pay should be asked to pay more taxes”. The Minister also stresses on the importance of taxing black money in order to find immediate funds to ease the present financial crisis of the Government.
    Despite being known as a strong trade union activist, Nanayakkara asserts he is now compelled to play a more balanced role due to his responsibilities as a Cabinet Minister.
    Following are the excerpts from an interview:

    Q: People in this country are suffering enough; why are you suggesting more taxes?
    A: The taxes I suggested are on the big businessmen who are making bigger money.
    Q: But ultimately all such taxes will be transferred to the people?
    A: Ultimately anything will be transferred to the people. Ultimately the burden on the rich will be the burden on the poor. In any society there are two layers that exist; one under the other. Therefore, the operation of a tax will be of no lesser consequence, but will immediately give revenue to the Government. In immediate terms it would be pocketed out by the rich people. But in the long term all burdens will ultimately be on the people until and unless you start appropriating capital.
    Q: Do you think it is possible to implement your recommendations in order to find quick money to ease the Government’s revenue crisis?
    A: If I am the Government, I will implement each and every suggestion I made.
    Q: You are part of the Government.
    A: Yes I am part of the Government; therefore I urge they be implemented.
