Suhadha’s seniority is a myth! It is better to make MR the AG rather than appointing Suhadha Gamlath !!
(Lanka-e-News -09.Feb.2016, 8.00PM) In Sri Lanka the issues attendant when appointing an Attorney General (AG) are still unresolved. The issues have proliferated as a result of the politicization of the AG’s department during the MaRa regime , and therefore that has become a huge problem when trying to extricate the AG’s department from that scourge .
The grave issue confronting the government of good governance is clearing this department of the ‘weeds and wild plants’ that were planted in the AG’s department which matured during the last approximately 20 years , to spread their roots during the last 9 years ,only to bud and decay before flowering along with the department due to the obnoxious politicization. The biggest hindrance and hurdles that are faced by the good governance government when trying to clear the AG’s department of these harmful weeds and wild plants are not only at the highest tier but also at the second tier of the AG’s department because those have been politicized for a long time by the Rajapakse reign so much so that irrespective of who is chosen from those higher tiers , every one of them is a shameless bootlicking Rajapakse lackey and lickspittle.
Under these circumstances , though an AG shall be appointed from the outside to change the present ‘negative’ state of affairs , but because such an action will be running counter to good governance of the present government , and those within the AG’s department are absolutely antagonistic to an outsider being brought in , this has turned into a huge dilemma.
No matter what , if the government of good governance is to progress alongside the aspirations and aims of the people , it must select an honest learned individual with a clean slate who abides by the laws , and ecshews illicit deals, for the post of AG. If not , the government of good governance will be courting disaster and annihilation while it is still young . In the circumstances , appointing the right individual to the AG post is most important and imperative. Read more >>
