Parliamentarian Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said the Hulftsdorp court complex in Colombo was in a dilapidated condition and that it had put the lives of thousands of innocent people in danger.

In a letter addressed to Justice Minister Thalatha Athukorala, he said the Colombo Magistrate and District Court buildings were at the risk of collapsing thus putting the lives of thousands of people in jeopardy.

“It is of paramount importance to commence forthwith the construction of a new court complex. Relevant government authorities including the Justice Minister should be held responsible if the court complex collapses. It is a public matter that the Finance Ministry is not allocating funds for projects of national interest like this whereas it allocates billions of rupees for useless initiatives,” he said.

He urged the government not to await another catastrophe just like it did till the Kolonnawa garbage heap collapsed.

Has anybody experience the condition of the toilets located at the Colombo Magistrate Court where the traffic violation cases are taken up. I started to wonder how the lawyers and Judges work and make their money from there in that hell like condition.

Not a single person since 2015 has been convicted for crimes - does this not mean that justice itself has been collapsing. Even the country is at risk of collapsing with antics of VVIPs.

So he has got a recent brief to attend court and identify this? Why didn't he do anything when he was Minister of Justice for 2 years of the 41/2 years, is the question; preparation for next election to parliament!
