If there is a man in this country, apart from Mahinda Rajapaksa, with a conscience more impervious to ethical and moral considerations, a conscience so thickly armour plated that it can blithely adopt the most unprincipled position, then that must be Sarath Nanda Silva, former Chief Justice. This is the man who apologized to the public, just a few months ago, for having delivered an erroneous verdict in exonerating Rajapaksa in the “Helping Hambantota “ fraud. Had the decision been otherwise, all other factors being equal, Rajapaksa would have been placed behind bars for the misuse of public funds. Given Silva’s known expertise in judicial matters, it is also difficult to believe that the erroneous verdict had been delivered in ignorance of its infirmity.
