He is honest at least. He admits he has below average intelligence by appointing a committee

I am a psychiatrics professor. I also have a docterate in animal behaviour. Can I have a chance to be in the panel?

The panel members are in a difficult position on whether to accept appointment. Accepting will suggest that they do not understand that they are being taken for a ride. But refusing it means that do not realize the danger to their lives they are exposing themselves to. Either way we cannot judge the intelligence levels of the panel members

well said, starting from politics - grade 1, but we must admire his guts to show that he knows nothing about development work in the Kelaniya being the organizer. He realizes the caliber of his coordinating officers. Some good guy has given him valuable advise.

While he is an idiot, those who have consented to serve on the committee are also in my opinion educated idiots unless theybhave some hidden agenda to use this bugger for personal benefits

Obviously these lecturers and doctors have been neglecting their specilisations to play politics. Any professional who associates with this human rights violater and parody for a democrat should be ashamed of themselves.

Mervyn is carving out another country (Rajyayak) in Keleniya. But he is not the organizer anymore, so why this move? May be he needs the blessing before he kills some more people.
