UN questions Govt. on impeachment motion: Effeminate Govt. Parliamentarians sign blank papers
(Lanka-e-News -27.Oct.2012, 11.00AM) The SL permanent representative to the UN had questioned the Govt. on the impending impeachment motion against the Chief justice (CJ), according to reports reaching Lanka e news.
Meanwhile the Govt. MPs and Ministers from whom signatures were collected supposedly for the proposed impeachment motion against the CJ, had signed on blank papers , as reported to Lanka e news by a Minister who signed it.
The draft containing the charges and the documents prepared by the regime chief MaRa’s Lawyer Kalinga Indratissa , Attorney General Mohan Silva and former CJ and present Presidential advisor Asoka De Silva is to be finally scrutinized and analyzed by Dr. G L Peiris before being presented to the Ministers and MPs , it is reported.
Parliament standing order 67 A states how an impeachment motion against a chief justice should be . Accordingly ,charges that are acceptable should be presented , and for examining those charges , a Parliament select Committee comprising 7 or more members of the political parties in Parliament shall be appointed.
The Select Committee shall like in a court summon witnesses , and the trial conducted by the Select Committee is confidential. Only if the chief justice is found guilty ,a motion can be brought in Parliament , and by a simple majority based on the voting the CJ can be dismissed.
However , an opposition M P speaking to Lanka e news said, though this is the procedure , MaRa’s laws being bizarre and brutal , what course of justice will be followed cannot be predicted.Previously , when an impeachment motion was brought against Neville Samarakoon CJ , it took one and half years for its consummation , he added.
Meanwhile , the present CJ had decided to face this impeachment motion unflinchingly and boldly without resigning , on the ground that she will battle against the dictatorial trends , injustice and unreasonableness in compliance with the wishes of the so many who had earnestly requested Dr. Shiranee Bandaranayake CJ to take that heroic and noble line of action, according to reports reaching Lanka e news.
It is also the majority view that if she opts to resign it will be tantamount to subjugating the independence of the judiciary and sovereign rights of the people while also playing into the hands of those interested parties aiming at dictatorial, unjust and unlawful goals overriding people’s wishes. Besides it would be like giving a walk over victory to unreasonableness , injustice and despotism which are surely taking control in this country.
It is unfortunate that these Govt. MPs and Ministers who placed their signatures in favor of this motion haven’t the perception to realize that they are not only signing their own death warrants , but they have also betrayed the people’s faith reposed in them that they would as people’s representatives safeguard democracy against despotism and injustice .
A great many are bitterly resentful of the lukewarm attitude taken by the SL Bar Association in connection with the attack on the JSC Secretary ; the diabolic conspiratorial actions hatched against the CJ; and the potential destruction faced by the judiciary and its independence.
Generally rigor mortis sets in only after death , but in the case of The Lawyers Association, it occurs that this affliction had already crippled them while being alive . Let them take note of the warning, ‘when the neighbor’s wall is ablaze your own is at stake’, before it is
