Why did Suhada Gamlath give up such a prestigious and powerful post in Sri Lanka?
Jay Monday, 03 February 2014 03:07 PM
Why are these gentlemen serving as Judges to a military dictatorship? Or is Fiji not different from Sri Lanka?

This is just wonderful! Are we now exporting incompetent judges to other countries?
BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 04 February 2014 09:52 AM
In Fiji, Sri Lankan judges are well sort after, because they can be easily manipulated by the dictatorial regime. Judges from other nations refuse to accept posts in Fiji.
BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 04 February 2014 09:54 AM
The corruption, manipulation of justice and training provided locally for these judges is ideal for Fiji which is a dicatatorial government.
BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 04 February 2014 09:56 AM
The judicial system in Fiji is heavily manipulated by the ruling dictators, thus majority of judges in Fiji are from Sri Lanka, specially fellows from the south.
BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 04 February 2014 10:00 AM
No actually their competencies have been recognised by the dictatorial Fijian Government, thus they are given these posts. No other national will employ doby fellows like Suhada, Mohan and Palitha.
