Sarath Silva again day dreaming to be Prime Minister
Friday, 16 November 2012
The notorious, shrewd, infamous, disgraced underworld figure known as "Aluthkade Sara " alias Sarath Nanda Silva has once again befriended with his former pal, Percy Mahendra Rajapaksha.
This time to advice Percy to appoint an acting Chief Justice while Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake holds office!
Those who are familiar with Sarath Silva’s notorious past as an Appeals Court judge, Attorney General and Chief Justice are not surprised at all about this disgraced man’s latest U-turn.
As he himself recently admitted, it is this man who in fact made the underworld gang leader from Beliatta known as Mahinda Rajapaksha the executive president of the country. Rewriting judicial history in Sri Lanka, Sarath Nanda Silva not only swiftly acquitted Mahinda Rajapaksha from serious charges of swindling funds donated by foreigners for tsunami victims, but also threatened to imprison the petitioner, UNP MP Kabir Hasheem!
It should also be recalled how this notorious man took part in an alleged ceremony to take oaths for the second time by President Chandrika Kumarathunga. But when he realised that CBK’s time is over, the man who allegedly took oaths himself ruled that it was unconstitutional just to pave the way for his partner in crime, Mahinda to contest elections an year earlier.
But when he realised Mahinda will not honour the pledge to make him the Prime Minister, the ever ambitious Sarath Silva turned to war hero, General Sarath Fonseka.
Sri Lankan campaigners as well as respected international groups such as IBA and ICJ have properly documented the serious abuses committed during Sarath Silva’s ten-year tenure as Sri Lanka’s chief justice.
It is this man who virtually made it impossible for opposition political parties to sack their MPs crossing over to the government. From Keheliya Rambukwella to disgraced legal professor G. L . Peiris, Silva ruled that UNP did not have a right to sack them from the parliament, completely misinterpreting the constitution.
Sexual misconduct
During his disastrous ten-year tenure, Sarath Silva not only interfered with the case involving his own wife’s divorce petition, he openly protected judges accused of serious sexual abuses such as seeking sexual bribes to settle cases.
Furthermore, when Sarath Silva himself was arrested near Diyawanna Oya having oral sex with a junior lawyer, his first line of contact was none other than his close buddy, then Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa. It is a well-known fact in media circles that Mahinda himself telephoned many media organisations to stop them reporting about the arrest of Chief Justice Sarath Silva while having sex in a car parked in a public place.
Having close links with criminals such as "Wewa Rohana", using criminal to brutally assault human rights campaigner Tony Fernando in jail, protecting sex offenders in the judiciary, personally seeking sexual favours from woman judges and lawyers,…the list goes on. But Percy Mahendra Rajapaksha now so concerned about the independence of the judiciary was nowhere to be seen collecting signatures from fellow MPs to impeach Sarath Silva! Instead, he was secretaly campaigning to protect this maniac!
It is this Sarath Nanda Silva now campaigning to sack his former rival Shirani Bandaranayake for yet unfounded bizarre allegations. It is this Sarath Silva now day dreaming again to be the Prime Minister under his former buddy in crime, Mahinda Rajapaksha.
