FOr our little country to WIN, court system famous lawyers included must be free of corruption and insider dealing. the postponements of this case was rather suspicious considering the presidential candidate.

Under Sri Lanka’s constitution, no court proceedings can be maintained against a serving president. However, action could be taken after he leaves office.

This was expected, the case was postponed many times anyway. The special courts was a waste of money and time. The people of Sri Lanka got a leader they deserve.
