Ranil’s answer to Anura Dissanayake : government’s deplorable policy towards BureaucRATS !
(Lanka-e-News -09.June.2016, 11.30PM) Even a Kindergarten class child in Sri Lanka knows the group of rogues and goons of Medamulana engaged in murder, robberies and perfidies during the ‘nefarious decade’ more with the support of government officers who were their bootlicking stooges and scoundrels , and less with the relatives of Medamulana , Prime Minister (P.M.) Ranil Wickremesnghe revealed in parliament yesterday, while he was announcing the good governance government’s policies. During the session of questioning the P.M. before the parliament began , the P.M. gave this reply when responding to the question posed by Anura Kumara Dissanayake the chief opposition whip.
Anura Dissanayake:
In the letter signed by Solicitor General Mudalige , it is mentioned after the investigation into the Tourist Board activities was concluded , and the report was forwarded to the Attorney General’s (AG) department, the AG has instructed to furnish him with a report after immediately arresting 6 officers including an officer in your office, and producing them in court . This action has still not been carried out. Therefore I wish to know from you why was this stalled?

P.M. Ranil:
The relevant State officers have explained to the president and the respective ministers that they have acted as officers of the State, and punishing those officers is wrong.. Hence it was decided that this issue be referred to the AG again.

Anura Dissanayake:
Does this mean after the arrest and a statement has been recorded ,and despite an order given to produce them in court , just because a letter has been sent to the president, subsequently the arrest of those suspects can be averted?

P.M. Ranil:
Since a major issue can spark within the government service ,the AG too told the directive shall be made after looking into that. May be , instructions will be given to arrest them.
Based on the foregoing , the pro good governance masses that actively worked towards the successful Rainbow revolution on 8 th January can draw one inference . That is, the government they installed in power is not going to arrest the corrupt and the culprits because they are State officers; and will also not arrest criminals and the corrupt on the grounds they are monks.

In the circumstances the pro good governance masses must be can saying to these sinning ‘Sirs’ who are breaking necklaces , robbing plantains on trees and pick -pocketing ; and the ‘madams’ who peddle their bodies , all of you , the group of 139 , not more ,please get together and hand over a letter to the president with your signatures requesting not to arrest all of you. In which event it will be decided all of you who committed all the cardinal sins on earth including breaking necklaces , pick pocketing and body peddling did not intentionally indulge in these crimes and were not done of your own volition .Thereafter , that decision will be discussed with P.M. and AG.
Finally all of you will be produced before Gangodawila magistrate Kanishka Wijeratne while offering you the opportunity to give your excuses. He will then hold all what you have robbed aren’t those belonging to others , and will give a verdict entrusting all the robbed goods back to you, and release all of you on bail while saying all the articles belong to you. He will also give you a date to pay the cash bail amount at your convenience.
It is a unfortunate the government is following a deplorable policy of playing into the hands of the corrupt bureaucRATS.
