So now what happens to Dapula who does not want to go to freezing Canada as Ambassador? Tussle for the AG's post!!!

If people of this country are given a referendum then at least 60% of them would vote to retain the same Attorney General, because he is the best AG we have ever had. So it is unacceptable that this government is removing this successful and honest AG. The diplomatic missions in Colombo would be sending messages to their countries. And this government would face terrible consequences including trial at the International Criminal Court.

Good Choice.

Either extend Dappula's term or have Mr. Rajaratnam' be confirmed to the post. Dappula can be offered a High Court position. he still got the energy
