He was sent home by GR under his meritocracy governance. What a shame . Shows how the politicians were screwing the foolish people for 76 years.

Please ensure he, AKD and other important individuals in this new administration are protected well. Preferably STF personnel must be around them as they will be settling certain previous crimes which “May ruffle a few feathers”.

Police needed a super brain to go after corruption to have a corrupt arrested. With Shani there many corrupt will be prosecuted with fool proof evidence with charges framed with no loop holes

Shani. Firstly I congratulate you and hope you will do a very honest and impartial job for all the citizens of our motherland. Secondly you must protect yourself and protect all the others leaders specifically Anura. Thirdly I sincerely hope all the criminal matters swept under the carpet during last so many years would be resolved and do justice to the grieved parties.

Hope of a new dawn for Sri Lanka. Eliminating Police of Pujithas and Waidyalankaras and Vass Gunawardenas and Deshabandu will ensure we have a police worthy of its credibility of yore.

Political appointment means appointing non qualified friends to the posts. But if you appoint a qualified person who is a known person but a qualified person what's wrong. Do you say should not appoint anyone who support NPP? What a crazy, first the citizen of this country lacking common sense. If I'm the president and if I know that my brother is qualified and do the job well, I will appoint him for that sure. As per your argument, the people who supported NPP shouldn't be appointed even if they are the highest qualified. What is this joke? Political appointment: means appointment given to somebody with sole qualifications of friendship and family tie. Appointment given to somebody who is capable but still support the party doesn't mean political appointment. Everyone knows about Shani he was treated unjustly he was supporting for system change

There was a past president who said the same thing about appointing his own brother as he was the most suitable for the post in his own assessment. The rest is history

Investigate crimes against humanity during 1987 to 1989 as well in addition to manufacturing evidences to take revenge from your opponents.
