Hope he will keep up the reputation of his illustrious father and not descend to the level of an AG now subervient to the politicos though having a higher status.

To the comment of BalaIf you know the Wijetilleke family you would not have posted your comment.The Wijetilleke family from Matale have been in the Lawyers, Barristers and Judges and have a long lineage of Reputable service in the Law Courts.They would rather be jobless than bowing down to political pressure or money
