No arm of Govt. superior to the other: Ratnasiri



Good Governance and Infra Structure Facilities Senior Minister Ratnasiri Wickremenayake said the people would lose confidence in the judiciary if the judges were unable to deliver their judgments independently.  

He told a public meeting after the opening of the Millewa–Puwakwattta Road in Horana that there was a crisis between the Judiciary on one side and the Legislature and the Executive on the other.

“It is the duty of all those concerned to avoid such crises. We must not attempt to convince all and sundry that we are right and others are wrong. Unless we work together in unity and amity, the present crisis will deepen. The Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary should work in close coordination. Any institution subject to the public opinion should not attempt to consider itself superior to the other,” the senior minister said.

MP Vidura Wickremenayake, Horana Pradeshiya Sabha Vice Chairman Asoka Ranathunga and several local politicians addressed the gathering. (Buddhika Kumarasiri and Wijeratne Opanayaka)
