The determination of the Supreme Court on the ‘Divi Neguma’ has not been properly communicated, Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa announced a short while ago.

He said that the determination should have been submitted formally to the Speaker direct and not to the General Secretary of Parliament.

Supreme Court should be abolished. Speaker can handle all matters without advice from SC.

Good expolanation. Speaker knows this too; but he just trying to justify all the recent thuggery against the country's judicial system. Anyway he is also one of the brotheres... what better thing can u expect from him.

Dear speaker, do you want yourselves to open the door and sign the delivery note of the delivery messenger? Doesn’t it degrade your status. Just leave the document handling to the SCG of Parliament and do some worthwhile things to the country pls.

R.Sunthar Wednesday, 10 October 2012 04:26 AM

Is it the "kill the messenger"phenomenon.

prasad Wednesday, 10 October 2012 03:49 AM

Were you in a different world all these days??
Get lost !!!
So file an objection on technical grounds.

We know that now you will hear lot of allications against these judges and finally Gamunu or son will make these judges bang their heads on a wall and drop their colaks yet they will say it is a self hurting... then say that at the time of attack they were giving advise to a buinessman so they will be expel....

We know these dramas now..... Shame MR

Divi Neguma bill is for the sole benefit of the people in power both in the Central Government and the Provinces and to tighten the screws further on the common man

Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 09 October 2012 11:56 AM

Just looking for an excuse to sideline the Judiciary and pass the Bill with the government's steamroller majority where Pabas and Babas will raise both hands without even knowing what the Bill is for.

misunderstood Tuesday, 09 October 2012 11:31 AM

Who is the Secretary General? Secretary General is the Administrative Head of the Political Speaker. When the Speaker is the Political Head of the Parliament, the Secretary General is the Administrative Head of the Parliament. The SG functions under the Speaker and the Speaker is his Boss. SG implements the decisions taken by his Boss, who is the Head of the Institution called Parliament. Whatever is sent to him is, in effect, sent to the Speaker. The Constitution recognises the SG as the Speaker's Agent. Therefore, there is no violation of the Constitution if a document is sent to SG to be submitted to the Speaker. This is just to find fault with the Judiciary, because they want to fault it!

Surain Tuesday, 09 October 2012 10:36 AM

oh now trying to find fault with judiciary come on speaker we all are adults

Junior Citizen Tuesday, 09 October 2012 10:33 AM

even the judiciary is not above rules-the ruling has to go to speaker directly

Kautilya Tuesday, 09 October 2012 10:13 AM

Public came to know of the Supreme Court decision because it was sent to DG of parliament. If it was sent to the Speaker it wouldn,t have seen the light of the day because the SC decision was against the Devi Naguma Bill.

bigsam Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:40 AM

Yes, big deal that it was communicated to Gen Sec and not you. Just get on and do something worthwhile please without finding small technical faults.

DOTS Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:37 AM

Think so but in reality they too build a millions worth of houses whereas their Salary is just around 100 K ... ,

Deen Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:37 AM

The Speaker and the Secretary General of Parliament are on the same floor of the Parliament building. May be the messenger would have thought the Secretary General would pass on the message to the Speaker.

Real peace Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:13 AM

SC decision is not favour of govt?

Public Abilik Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:07 AM

Time to split hairs, no talk of action.

mercy Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:03 AM

The Judiciary is an independant body interference in its internal affairs is would only sustain the dictatorship

kaputakukula Tuesday, 09 October 2012 09:01 AM

Why this comment comes after such a long period?
Is this also a reason why the secretary was manhandled?
