Election Commissioner behaves and weeps like a baby: 'I can do nothing regarding Gota’s election law violations'
(Lanka-e-news-08.March.2014,11.30PM) Sri Lanka (SL) Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya had revealed that he cannot do anything in regard to the election law violations committed by defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse or any other Ministry secretary despite having received complaints against them .
This buffoon of a Commissioner had shamelessly and brazenly admitted his weakness via his tomfoolery by stating that decisions pertaining to Ministry secretaries appointed by the President (who is a byword for lawlessness ) can be taken only by the President’s secretary. But of course the Commissioner can take action against grama sevaka niladharis who violate election laws, the elections commissioner had added.
The elections commissioner has made this announcement during a discussion held last 04th March between himself and the representatives of political parties, when issues in this regard was raised. In any case , he had emphasized government officers participating in election campaigns is illegal. And government board members, grama niladharis , members of the police and the three forces, Principals of schools and forest conservation officers cannot participate in politics even after their duty hours .
By the foregoing announcement the elections commissioner had made it clear that since Ministry secretaries are appointed by the President , this buffoon of a commissioner has no powers to take action against any of these secretaries who are openly and outrageously violating election laws. In that event , to serve whose illegal purpose is this ‘baby’ of an elections commissioner holding that responsible post ? This is a crucial question raised by every perplexed law abiding citizen of the country . Is he there only to be cradled because he is a baby in birthday suit , or is he there just to weep whenever the law breakers are taking his soother off his mouth ?
Interestingly ,the Commissioner after the discussion had privately confided to some of those present qwith sorrow , he is now unable to enjoy even a drinking bout with an old friend , as websites are publicizing that too.
Recently , one night this elections commissioner together with notorious senior DIG Anura Senanayake and senior DIG elections , Gamini Navaratne attended a dinner at Hilton hotel .They had liquor seated at a special table in the hotel’s curry leaf section .
