The president has to direct the IGP to do his job? What is wrong with the IGP, he didn't read his job description?

-0+8 # Yehiya 2012-07-21 14:26

If not interfear of IGP & Army commander jobs. They will do the job. If they are free to job lot of crimes & corruption under control.

Still cheating not only people, but judges also....

Mahinda acting like a baby who don't know any thing

The best way out is to hand over the case to UPFA courts where that whore of Avissawella will appear for the accused.

Why does the President have to prod the government servants to execute their duties ?

-1+25 # Rom 2012-07-20 23:54

Obviously!! They would have not proseeded fearing repocution!!!

-1+26 # Keith 2012-07-21 05:35

Well said peeda mosa
See the state of democracy, processes of implementation of law in this country..... ? I wouldn't be surprised if the speaker gave orders, since the minister is covered by parliamentary privileges. But why the president ?

There is no control , God bless Sri Lanka

-2+19 # Cobra 2012-07-21 07:50

Because he doesn't want them to get to the bottom of it and expose one of his favorite thugs-Moda pissa, ekawath danne ne!!!

Don't hold your breath if you think justice will prevail. Its only a facade. Either nothing will come of the inquiry or some small fry will be found guilty.

Question: Why does the President have to prod the government servants to execute their duties ?

Ansrwer: Because, he is the EXECUTIVE President!

-0+1 # patriot 2012-07-21 21:01

.Because only the President has the supreme power above all others. He is the King!!

-3+105 # cp 2012-07-20 22:29

Does police awaits directives for other cases from president?

-2+53 # NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN 2012-07-20 22:31

no time limits?

-1+14 # brinthan 2012-07-20 22:31

the culprit is the friend and minister of ruling party then what will happen?

-0+3 # Richardson 2012-07-21 14:07

Behead the culprit and send to Saudi As our Ambasador.

-2+95 # CHANDRAPALA 2012-07-20 22:36

It seems that without the instructions of President the Police Chief is unable to take immediate action regarding this issue. All Public Servants are in the same boat including the Election Commissioner.

-1+22 # Jagath 2012-07-21 01:59

Exactly you are correct, Sri Lanka is alrady a lawless country.

-1+15 # Manik 2012-07-21 03:30

Thanks to 18th amendment.

-1+16 # Balu Siva 2012-07-20 23:07

It will be the same result that befell the Bhartha Lakshman Case.

-1+14 # Sri Minnal 2012-07-20 23:19

We have had enough probe and investigation. Ministers are more powerful than judges in this government.

-2+15 # Shabarathnam 2012-07-20 23:20

It is crystal clear that World News Agencies will throw more light on this incident. As nations we are worried Mr. MR. This country is not your own property. Do Not Spoil the image of our motherland.

-1+16 # suraj 2012-07-20 23:22

this shows the Police Top Brass has to get the 'ok' from Govt to do their official duty, if not nothing happens, no wonder why so many Child Rapes are happening at an alarming rate and murders taking place all over country . We now know who is responsible for these

Sri Lanka's best comedian cum Villain.

-1+13 # Rangan 2012-07-21 02:38

So the IGP and the Police did not have the Free Hand to do what they need to do!

-1+12 # perera 2012-07-21 03:27

sheer waate of time and money because the outcome is predictable.
does every one need directives from this president to even use the toilet

-1+12 # vigilent 2012-07-21 03:53

this is the real executive presidency used to do a family business. system has manipulated wisely. god save a nation!!! One person do what he want.

-1+15 # Amarapala 2012-07-21 04:39

Why does the president have to direct investigation. Does that mean IGP does not do his job if he is not directed by the president.

-1+20 # shane 2012-07-21 05:34

finally the magistrate will be transfered and Ramukwalle will say
it is usual in govt.service.matter ends.

-0+5 # Kautilya 2012-07-21 08:12

That means IG and Police has not taken any action so far until MR direct inquiry. Vow what a police we have. Naduth horunge,Baduth Horunge

-0+4 # nicky karunarathna 2012-07-21 09:05

MR please ask your ministers to be humble and abide by the law and rules of the law of the land. I can recall you said in a world forum that - government only the caretaker of the land and not ruler. Is that correct?

-0+8 # Calistus Jayatilleke 2012-07-21 09:19

The IGP has to wait for orders from the President along with the conclusions to be reached according to the wishes of the government when it comes to suspects who are part and parcel of the government. Remember, we do not have independent Police commission now, and one man's word is law. Nothing will happen in this case other than the judge getting a transfer or even the sack for not listening to a Minister.

-0+12 # DammikA 2012-07-21 09:37

Mr. President there is nothing to probe. Whole people in Mannar knows very well and more importantly Chief Magistrate Mr. A. Judsaan has already lodged a complaint with Police with the name of the minister involved. For GOD sake he is the Chief Magistrate and Police no need the President's directions. This shows police does not care Magistrates orders waiting only for the President to direct them ????

-0+11 # Thomas 2012-07-21 10:14

He is your Excellency's Minister, he has broken the law of the country by threatening a Magistrate, ARREST him and then hold an inquiry., as your law do with an ordinary citizen of this country.

-0+5 # solico 2012-07-21 10:19

the end of the case

-0+8 # abdulla 2012-07-21 12:07

How long will take this inquiry? 6 Months. And no results.

-0+3 # Jagath Leanage 2012-07-21 23:13

Surely he would have instructed I.G.P. to take Magistrate into custody.
