Piyasiri Wijenayake – Minister of Murders and Crime

Piyasiri Wijenayake, MP from the so-called Jathika Nidahas Peramuna, the leftovers of the JVP, has been appointed as a minister along with Nandana Gunatilake, a colleague from the same three wheeler party. As if we do not have enough ministers now!

According to the Roman and Dutch law practiced in Sri Lanka, one is innocent until proven guilty and not vice versa.
Having said that, it becomes valid only when there is an independent police force, which unfortunately is a luxury under the current regime.

Had there been an independent police force, Piyasiri Wijenayake should have been behind the bars now. There is enough evidence to prove his guilt for the crime of murdering a young member of JVP.

It is sad that Mahinda mama has fallen into the levels of offering cabinet posts to such characters in a pathetic attempt to save the government becoming a parliament minority. Is this the behavior of an emperor he tries to portray himself to be?

Do ‘maha rajanoes’ of other countries make such dismal attempts to save their crown?

It is sadder that a dubious character like Piyasiri Wijenayake is given the responsibilities of protecting culture. Sakvithi Ranasinghe could have certainly been a better candidate. At least he has not committed any murders.
