Are all Sri Lankans fools as Govts that come to power think?

The reason I put my thoughts into writing is because all Governments that are voted into power by the peoples vote think Sri Lankan’s are fools and buffoons and can be easily cheated as seen by the utterances made in Parliament and outside. Take for instance the 20th Amendment which gives all power to the President to act as he wishes with no questions asked which makes him a Dictator. The incumbent Government and its members make various statements that are absolute falsehoods. The learned professor G.L. Peiris states that as long as the 19A is in force, the President will have to waste his time ‘rustifying’ in courts and is the reason immunity is needed. It has been pointed out to the professor that Article

35 of the Constitution before and after the 19th Amendment, i.e. 19A no legal action whether civil or criminal can be initiated or continued against the President while he holds Office. Whom is the professor trying to hoodwink with these falsehoods. Another often repeated pronouncement is that the present Government was voted to power by the Sri Lankan people to abolish the 19th Amendment.

I wish to say very sincerely that the

Sri Lankan voters did not vote to abolish the 19th Amendment, or to bring into the hallowed confines of Parliament murderers whose murder cases are still pending in Courts. An ‘Appeal’ to higher courts does not make him an innocent man as theorized. The Sri Lankan voters voted against the UNP due to the following reasons, namely the Central Bank bond scam, the Easter Sunday attack and the failure though promised to bring the wrongdoers of the previous regimes to justice.

A recent newspaper article said the Sri Lankan government is hoping to demand Rs.1,695 million as compensation from the British Company which dispatched 263 containers of solid waste in violation of the Basel Convention.

Here again who is cheating whom. These containers were imported by a local company in 2017 and 2018 during the ‘yahapalanaya’ government. They simply ignored this serious offence hoping it will be forgotten by the people as in other such matters. People do not forget as they have learned from the outcome of the previous election.

Voters didn’t vote to abolish the 19th Amendment or to bring into Parliament murderers whose cases are pending in Courts
