Do the media talk down to teenagers over drugs?

TUESDAY 21 OCTOBER 2014

As a study suggests teenage cannabis users risk "impairing" their educational ability, a leading researcher claims young people are being let down by media reporting on the dangers of drugs.

According to the report, people who use the drug regularly by the age of 15 in particular are putting themselves at risk. But the same study also suggests no link between occasional use and academic achievement.

The study, published by the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, also warns that it is difficult to distinguish between the impact of cannabis and that of other factors, such as alcohol.

The Size Of The Cabinet And The Allocation Of Departments To Ministries

By R.M.B Senanayake -October 21, 2014

R.M.B. Senanayake

Northcote Parkinson in his book published in the 1980s gave the size of the Cabinet of Ministers in several countries in 1978.It was seven in Switzerland, 12 in the USA,20 in Great Britain and France, 37 in the  USSR and 44 in China. He says that the coefficient of inefficiency must lie between 19 and 22. He says we should draw a line under the 20 for beyond that number the Cabinet is not the real seat of power. In such countries there is an inner Cabinet or a smaller group who exercise the real power. It is a general proposition that complex decisions should be made by persons who understand the subject. When I was in the public service I was privileged to be called to a Cabinet meeting- to a Cabinet which was adorned   by the likes of Dr. N.M Perera, Dr Colvin R. De Silva and Felix Dias Banadaranaike who was my Minister. I was surprised by the fact that except for these knowledgeable men none others were interested in the subject. My role was to be a backroom boy to provide the facts to my Minister. How many Ministers who are no patch on these previous Ministers, can carry on a meaningful discussion today? Yet we have 50-60 of them.

Ministers must be knowledgeable and  competent administrators

The original Executive Presidential system of government unlike the Westminster system was based on a strict separation of powers between the three organs of the State to ensure freedom – a proposition formulated by the French political scientist- Montesquieu. So in USA the Secretaries of State –the equivalent of our Ministers, are drawn from outside Congress- the Legislature. The men appointed are all persons who are experienced in administration either public or business administration. The French Constitution continued this separation and insisted that where a Member of the ‘Parlement ‘was appointed to the Executive branch as a Minister he would have to first resign his seat in the Parliament but may attend its meeting without a vote. The French appointed retired public servants to the Executive branch to obtain the necessary skill and expertise required to be a Minister. We have appointed a whole horde of semi-educated MPs as Ministers to supervise and run the Departments. Result is chaos                                      .Read More

DO WE NEED AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO THE THIRD TERM QUESTION BEYOND TEXT AND INTENTION?

• by Asanga Welikala 
• - on 10/21/2014

Amidst strong indications following the Uva provincial election result that a panicked regime is planning an early presidential election, there has been a vigorous debate in the media about the consequences of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished the presidential two-term limit and removed other procedural restraints on presidential power. There was of course no comparable opposition or even public interest in the issue when that amendment was enacted in 2010. In the triumphalist afterglow of war victory, this blatant attempt at entrenching presidential authoritarianism and dynastic consolidation was ignored by most and even welcomed by some. Only an infinitesimal minority in the parliamentary opposition, the media, and civil society opposed this pernicious measure then, only to be roundly condemned as traitors for their trouble. Still, better late than never, and it appears that the Southern electorate is at last waking up after the excesses of the long post-war party, albeit with a nasty hangover in the form of a constitutional and democratic crisis.

Another round of death threats for journalists in Sri Lanka workshops

21/10/2014

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliates the Free Media Movement (FMM) and the Sri Lanka Working Journalists Association (SLWJA) in condemning death threats issued to some of the journalists who participated in the concluding ceremony of journalism training on October 15, 2014 in the capital Colombo.

The training was organized by Transparency International Sri Lanka and a number of participants including Jayasiri Jayasekara, Janoor Kichilan and Amadoru Amarajeewa, training organizers Shan Wijethunga and Ravaya consultant editor Victor Ivan all received threatening text messages. The message, sent by so-called Rata Rakagath Deshapremee Balakyaa (literally the Patriotic Force that defended the country), said: “Do not attend this LTTE [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam] meeting. You will be attacked.”

This is not the first incident in which journalists attending meetings or trainings have received threats in Sri Lanka. Since January this year, three training workshops for Tamil journalists have been abandoned due to threats and intimidations from outsiders. On July 7, the National Secretarist for NGOs, under the Ministry of Defence and Urban Developemtn issued a circular to all NGOs preventing them from “conducting press conferences, workshops, journalism training and dissemination of press releases, claiming such activities were outside the mandate of NGOs. In July 2014, the IFJ and IFEX launched a campaign after FMM Convener Sunil Jayasekara received death threats following an FMM-hosted press conference.

The FMM said: “It is our understanding that no group could threaten journalists and civil activists in such a blatant manner without the knowledge of security agencies given the current militarization in the country.”

The SLWJA said: “Journalists and civil society groups have regularly been threatened and intimidated by the security apparatus and the government goons in recent times. We have strong evidence that the state intelligence units were behind the latest threats.”

The SLWJA “strongly condemns the campaign of intimidation and harassment of journalists and civil society and call upon the government to detest from these heinous tactics and rein its security apparatus. The failure of the government to do so further vindicates the deficit of democratic rights in the country and the very culpability of the government in those acts.”

The FMM called on the government to bring those who are responsible to justice and demonstrate that these groups do not enjoy their support. 

IFJ Asia Pacific said: “It’s a very disturbing pattern of threats and intimidation against journalists and civil society organizations who are active in organizing journalist trainings and advocating for media rights. Despite repeated incidents and requests from the international community, the Sri Lankan government has not brought those involved into judicial procedure thus giving us strong reason to believe that the government has no intention in countering such blatant attacks journalists on media freedom.”

The IFJ further added: “The IFJ strongly condemn the incident; and urge the government to immediately launch investigation on the incidents so to bring people behind the incidents on the judicial procedure for punishment.”

Mahinda Was Lying In Wait, I Was Waiting For The Opportune Moment: Ex-CJ Sarath Silva

October 21, 2014

Ex-Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva says he was waiting for the opportune moment to reveal PresidentRajapaksa‘s disqualification to contest for a third term as exposing it prematurely would have enabled the President to bypass the legal conundrum.

Sarath and Mahinda

Silva made these remarks during an interview with Newsfirst last night. He said President Rajapaksa implemented the 18th amendment upon being elected for a second term due to faulty legal advise that kept him in the dark concerning the constitutional barriers.

“Rajapaksa is craftier than I thought he would be – he was lying in wait patiently until he was elected for a second term.  So I did not wish to raise the issue then but brought it up now when he the necessity has arisen,” Silva said.

Silva announced a few weeks ago that President Rajapaksa became constitutionally disqualified for a third term on the very day he was elected for a second term. He has noted that he would take legal action personally if President Rajapaksa wishes to seek a re-election for a third term.

This fact has been confirmed by an Australian legal expert Suri Rathnapala who was consulted by the Bar Association of Sri Lanka on the matter.

The JHU critiques the Rajapakse Presidency

by Harim Peiris 

- on 10/21/2014

The barbs and criticisms of a political ally can in politics often do greater damage than even the more forthright criticism of an opponent. The reason for this has all to do with political constituency. When the opposition criticizes the Rajapakse presidency, it resonates mainly with those that are already politically in disagreement with the president anyway and is only effective to the extent that it actually is deemed valid by more middle of the road or undecided voters, the members of the public who form the so called floating vote, which is often the decider at elections rather than the block votes of a political party.

As Government spokesman Minister Kheliya Rambukkwella goes public to confirm the holding of presidential elections, two years ahead of schedule, a key government ally the JHU has been taking on the Rajapakse presidency and preparing the ground to leave the government. According to the constitution, four years of the president’s term has to lapse before another presidential election can be called, which would be November 17th and hence the open announcement of the election a month or more in advance is for president Rajapakse to test the political waters. He can still pull back from calling the elections, if his prospects for reelection seem to be dimming. He certainly faces serious issues.

A presidency facing stormy seas 

The Rajapakse presidency which was riding high only a few months ago has in a very short time run into a series of serious political setbacks. The Uva provincial council elections which was a litmus test of the Administration’s popularity was a disappointment for the UPFA, which saw its percentage of votes fall significantly, loose constituencies and in securing 58% of the popular vote in the near 98% Sinhala district of Monaragala, demonstrated that the two thirds 66%-67% of the Sinhala vote it requires to reach the magical 50% of total voters, is eluding them.

Secondly, the legal controversy and wrangling over Mahinda Rajapakse’s eligibility to context a third term in office through a broad and accommodative interpretation of the 18th amendment has run into a storm as former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva has taken the issue head on and with the support of the Bar Association as well as legal opinions from leading academics promises to personally challenge in the Supreme Court, Mahinda Rajapakse’s eligibility to be a third time candidate for the presidency. As he contemplates the cancellation of Pope Francis’s visit to Sri Lanka due to the Pope’s ethical impartiality in avoiding visiting countries during election seasons, Mohan Peiris must be dreading the thought of the unprecedented situation of finding a former Chief Justice and one of the best legal minds in the country challenging him, publicly in open court, making an acquiescence with Rajapakse’s own interpretation of his amendment that much harder. The Bar Association which stood solidly behind Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranaike during the impeachment fiasco, should encourage Chief Justice Bandaranaike to join with Chief Justice Sarath Silva to challenge President Rajapakse’s eligibility to seek a third term. Truly the Tourist Board has it right when it calls Sri Lanka, a land like no other. Irrespective of the outcome, the debate over the legal eligibility brings to the forefront the unpopular 18th amendment, the Administration’s own internal polls stating then that the public believed it was a power hungry, power grab.

The JHU distances itself from President Rajapakse  

However, the real political damage to the Rajapakse presidency is coming from the stinging critique of its erstwhile ally the ultra Sinhala Buddhist nationalist Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU). Now the JHU actually does not command a large voter base in the country. Its official media spokesman, Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe barely received twenty thousand votes in the Colombo district at this year’s Western Provincial Council elections and came in at the bottom of the UPFA list. But like many ideological parties within a non ideological populist political front like the UPFA, it has been disproportionately influential and has often been the tail wagging the dog. Accordingly when the JHU critiques the presidency, the message goes direct to President Rajapakse’s core constituency of Sinhala Buddhist and challenges the claim to be a defender and promoter of Sinhala Buddhist interests.

Most politically damaging for President Rajapakse is that the JHU critique of his presidency is coming on the governance front and based on the very issues that are causing serious disquiet if not dissent among the southern Sinhala constituency. The JHU critique is on the abuse of power, the weakening of democratic institutions, nepotism, corruption, economic mismanagement and complete over centralization of state power in the presidency to an extent that it is not even accountable to Parliament. The JHU demand that reforms be made prior to a presidential election, as the price for its support, looks unlikely to occur and the UPFA may face the same dynamic which the UNP faced in 1994, where it was challenged from within by the breakaway DUNF and a resurgence by the SLFP led People Alliance saw an end to its seventeen year run of government. President Rajapakse faces a similar dynamic, challenged from within by the JHU and from outside by the UNP, the TNA, the trade unions and professional bodies and given the poll results of Uva including insufficient support amongst the mono ethnic Sinhala Buddhist Monaragala, may well  face a very uphill task to electorally prevail.

Mahinda’s Regime Is Trembling

| by A Special Correspondent

( October 21, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) There is no doubt that MR regime is in a precarious position today than ever before. MR is going to commit a political suicide by calling for presidential election for a third term. Unlike in the western countries politicians who come to power with the mandate of people do not like to give up their seat of power in our country.

“Stop Squandering The People’s Mandate” Rajiva’s Party Tells Rajapaksa

October 21, 2014 

The Liberal Party of Sri Lanka (LPSL) has expressed their concern at the rising momentum in the country on the possibility of a snap Presidential polls at the beginning of next year.

Leader of the LPSL, Dr. Rajiva Wijesinha MP

LPSL General Secretary Kamal Nisanaka in the statement has noted that the President should hold office until the six year period of his term is completed without squandering the mandate given by the people. He has gone on to state that thereafter the government should seek to implement the constitutional reforms since there is rising acceptance by all political parties for such a move.

He has stated furthermore that it is high time the major parties discussed and reached an agreement on some of the vital reforms prior to the next Presidential election.

The LPSL has pointed out that formulating a program for political reforms within the next two years through a collaboration with two major parties in the South and the leading political alliance in the North would also place reconciliation efforts on a speedier track.

Nissanka in the statement had also expressed their views on the debate on choosing between the existing presidential system or the parliamentary system with the cabinet government.

“The Liberal Party believes that an alternative to abolishing the Executive presidency could be a presidency with reduced powers,” he has stated adding that they believe the incumbent President would response to the needs of the country rather than the persuasions of partisans who do no represent the views of the major parties in the UPFA.

Tamil Mother Prevented Leaving Sri Lanka at the Airport

21/10/2014

The late Suntharalingam Gajatheeban, alias Theiveegan’s mother Sundaralingam Rajithamalar, was prevented from leaving the country today, sources said.

She had arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport to take a flight to Canada on a valid visa to enter that country.

Sources said she might have been prevented from leaving the country because of the ongoing inquiry on Theiveegan. He and Gobi were shot dead during a clash with the Army at Padaviya early this year. They were alleged to have attempted to revive the LTTE.

Sources said the 57-year-old Rajithamalar, who was arrested by the Terrorist Investigation Department soon after her son’s death and later released after questioning. She had a six-year visa to Canada stamped on her passport.

On October 6 Ponniah Selvanayagam Kajeepan alias Gobi’s widow Kajeepan Sarmila had also been stopped at the Airport when she was about to leave for Switzerland.

MaRa has secret discussions with Nediyawan group in his Italian tour; Italian narcotics division was to arrest Sajin Vaas

(Lanka-e-News -20.Oct.2014, 11.45PM) During the recent tour of Italy , President Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse through a Minister of his has had secret discussions with a group of businessmen associated with LTTE Nediyawan, according to an officer of the Italian intelligence division, based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division.

Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena who went to Italy a month before the President’s Italian tour has held the preliminary discussions in Emiliya Romangyo province , Reggoemiliya city , Italy .

The city Rejjoemiliya is situated between cities , Bologna and Parma . It is the wealthiest businessmen in Italy who reside in that area. A group of wealthy Tamil businessmen among them had partook in the discussion on behalf of Nediyawan’s side . The Italian intelligence division however revealed that the details of those who participated cannot be disclosed right now.

Based on a tip off received by Mahinda Rajapakse from an American officer that the LTTE funds have been released , the former has discussed with ex LTTE arms leader KP in this connection. KP had told him that part of the funds in the accounts in Europe are with the Nediyawan group.

Mahinda Rajapakse had dispatched Rohitha Abeygunawardena to Italy to hold discussions with the wealthy Nediyawan group in order for MaRa to secure those funds , and to assure them that any facility and amenity can be provided to Nediyawan as KP.

Rohitha had been chosen for this mission because he has become extremely close to Mahinda , and his sister is engaged in business activities in Italy .

Following this preliminary discussion , Sajin Vaas Gunawardena the henchman was to hold final discussions on behalf of Mahinda Rajapakse , but that did not materialize.

What stood as a barrier to this discussion was a photograph displaying Sajin Vaas along with a Pakistani international heroin peddler. This photograph had reached the hands of the Italian anti narcotics division. Though this division was in the ready to arrest and interrogate Sajin Vaas when he arrived in Italy , the Italian central espionage service had not agreed to this because Sajin Vaas was arriving in the company of SL’s State leader. Arresting an individual by the anti narcotics division, who arrives as a VIP with a State leader may trigger controversies between the States . Owing to this , the action was postponed.

In the circumstances , the high profile Italian security detail providing security to the visiting SL head of State and his delegation have advised Sajin only to travel together with the Head of state and the delegation, and not to make solitary tours within Italy .

In case Sajin had travelled alone and was arrested by the anti narcotics division , they have told him they cannot rescue him since the Italian anti narcotics division has such sweeping powers. This information however had not been divulged to Sajin Vaas , rather he had only been instructed not to travel alone.

Accordingly , the final discussion with the participation of Sajin Vaas with Nediyawan group had to be postponed.

In any event , the Italian intelligence division says , in the Italian tour of Mahinda Rajapakse , it became clear that he was having an understanding with the LTTE based on the fact that when a Tamil youth who was keeping watch over the movements of Rajapakse was arrested by the Italian intelligence division , and more information was sought from Colombo, there was no keen response shown from that end.

Manikka Raja Iyakkaran who arrived in Italy via Dubai was keeping a keen watch in an unusual way over the movements of Rajapakse, he was arrested by the Italian intelligence division . However he was released later because there was not much interest shown over this by Colombo.

The Italian intelligence division is of the view that Colombo took a lukewarm attitude because of the secret mutual understanding between the government and the LTTE leaders.

Iyakkaran was nevertheless released after the conclusion of Rajapakse’s tour.

No matter what , the Italian intelligence division declared that the old LTTE activists are all completely inoperative now. Only a youth organization by the name of ‘Chetty’ and that is a distinctly different organization which is not terrorism oriented , and that is comprised of youths who are all intellectuals such as Doctors , graduates etc., the Italian intelligence division revealed .
