NCM against PM Ranil W, defeated in Parliament, but not amoung the people.

President Sirisena as well as his Prime Ministers  are bound together like Siamese twins. One cannot leave the other. They have come to live together and die together. They are thus handicapped,  unable to do any good to Sri Lanka and its people,  other than helping each other to continue their survival bound together as Siamese Twins..

The Bond Scam was planned after January,8th 2015, and each one of them-Prime Minister and President , knew what they were doing. The distribution of Ministries and the duties of each Minister had been planned out by the Prime Minister Ranil W, in Connivance with President Sirisena.  If not it would not have been possible for the Prime Minister  to recruit a citizen of Singapore to be the Governor of  the Central Bank.

Immediately the Ranil-Sirisena duo came into political power,  Singapore  became a country that attracted them most. Even  venerable late Sobitha thero was taken to Singapore for treatment where he died under mysterious circumstances. Rajitha Senaratne –the Minister of Health, and even the Prime Minister goes to Singapore for medical treatment.

Who knows whether in planning the bond scam “they”selected a man known to have connections with Raja Rajaratnam and Ravi Karunanayake a citizen of Singapore,  and enticed him to be the Governor of the Central Bank promising him not to involve him in case of a mishap in the planned racket ? 

Because,  if some suspicions were to fall on the political leadership of Yahapalanaya, they could  save themselves  by putting  the responsibility on the Governor of the Central Bank- Arjun Mahendran  the Singapore  citizen. But they provided an escape to Mahendran  by allowing him to returning to Singapore where he could  find a safe haven ?

Prime Minister’s indebtedness to Arjun Mahendran was evident when Arjun Mandran’s service contract came to an end,  and the President decided to  appoint  another as Governor of the Central Bank. The Prime Minister would not let Mahendran go. He appointed him as his advisor for the creation of  employments.  Strangely,  the President Sirisena did not protest or vetoed his appointment. 

Even the much hailed Presidential Commission to investigate into the Bond Scam of 27 February, 2015 was appointed by the President only  in  January, 2017, after even the second Bond Scam in 2016. Does that show the President’s honesty on the issue ?

The President Sirisena after having helped the Prime Minister to scuttle the COPE report of DEW Gunasekara  by dissolving the Parliament , appointed a Commission to investigate the Bond Scam of 27 February, 2015,  well after two years. Even then the President  never made any speech condemning the Bond scam.

But even today after the issue of the  Bond Scam Investigation Commission Report on  16 January,2018, no serious action to bring those responsible to book has been taken other than arresting  Arjun Aloysius and Kasun Palisena.

When the NCM against the Prime Minister whose guilt on the Bond Scam scandal was made evident,  Sirisena refused to make use of the only opportunity he had, despite  the 19^th Amendment to remove the Prime Minister  by demanding the SLFP members who are following him to vote in block in favour of the No Confidence Motion against the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe.

The Prime Minister may have escaped the NCM but now not only the Prime Minister, but also the  President Maithripala Sirisena remain accused  for their participation in the Bond Scam.  The defeat of the NCM brought by the JO against the Prime Minister was defeated in numbers in the Parliament, but  remains undefeated and passed in the minds of the Ordinary Mass of the People of Sri Lanka. 

The members in the Parliament  do not rightly reflect  the peoples’ collective judgement , both the President Maithripala Sirisena and the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe have  lost the confidence of the mass of the people of this country .

The JVP too has no backing of the mass of the people of Sri Lanka, as people do not see them as a Socialist force,  but the people see tham as an addendum to the UNP and anti Socialist, despite their barking after thieves of Mahinda Rajapakse Regime.

Now the political goons of the UNP, JVP,JHU,TNA, et al, who stole the votes of the people on the 8^th January, at the Presidential election,  and again at the general election in August,2015 duping the people with the promise to form a government to change to a government better than that of  the President Mahinda Rajapakse,  cannot continue to boast today of their much touted popularity amoung the 62 lacks of people who voted for them. 

Those numbers have dwindled  and the majority of the people are now behind Mahinda Rajapakse and the SLPP. If they of the Yahapalanaya  fail to grasp this truth after the Local Government Election, it is best they resign and call for a General Election  now.

Therefore, as it is,   both President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe have no moral right to continue in their respective office any longer as the people of Sri Lanka have lost confidence in both of gthem.
