The judiciary and independent commissions including the Bribery and Corruption Commission in Sri Lanka have been strengthened in a way that no politician can influence it, President Maithripala Sirisena said in Tibilisi, Georgia today.
Speaking at the Open Government Partnership - Global Summit, the President said the independent commissions have been placed above politicians, public servants, business community and all citizens so that the impartiality of the commissions is unchallenged.
The ‘Open Government Partnership - Global Summit’ in Georgia opened today in the Conference and Concert Hall at Tbilisi with the participation of President Sirisena.
Enlightening the participants on how his tenure as President of Sri Lanka has improved the country in terms of the principles of the Open Government Forum, President Sirisena went onto say that when he became the President of Sri Lanka, the Presidency was vested with extensive executive powers that no other elected leader in the world enjoyed.
“It was under that absolute power that corruption spread. Therefore, within the first six months since I became the President, I curtailed those excessive powers concentrated around me as the Executive President and transferred them to the Parliament. That strengthened the Parliament,” he stressed. (Sandun A Jayasekera)

This news is crap! How can they say this, when the Judges are allowing accused to go out on bail, keep on postponing the VIP cases, allowing the accused to travel abroad for long period of times, especially when special courts are being established etc..

After three and a half years not a single conviction and yet he is saying this without batting an eye. So who is protecting who and what is the judiciary doing.

European Union has already influenced by the warning of stopping GSP . Do you have a backbone as Executive Prez? In Bangladesh , 200 drug prisoners were killed by Police Law with the power of Prime Minister. In Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia Lee Quan U, Suhartho and Mahathir Mohamed killed union leaders, strikers to develop their countries. Prez is a Joker.
