Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe is likely to resign from his post today, informed sources said yesterday.

According to top government sources the Minister had informed President Maithripala Sirisena that he is willing to resign from the post.

Though it was speculated that Talatha Athukorala was expected to be sworn in as the new Minister of Justice, Ms Athukorala denied the story that she was to be appointed to the post. “No one had asked me to take over the Justice Ministry,” she said.

Other sources said some Ministers and MPs were pushing for the appointment of MP Jayampathi Wickramaratne to be appointed to the post. (Yohan Perera)

Why so long to get rid of this garbage, what theatrics and stage drama! This shows the leadership spineless and does not have what it takes to make decisive decisions in a timely manner.

Now is the right time as the elections are nearing and 50% previous regime culprits will end up in Welikade.

REASONS Wednesday, 23 August 2017 08:09 AM

Wonder what his reasons would be in his resignation letter - some suggestions (in the internet ) are -- (a) Found a New Job. (b) You Hate Your Job. .(c) Illness. ..(d) Difficult Work Environment. (e) Schedules and Hours. .(f) Career Change. .

Guys, lets forget the crap and see whether there is anyone to take a corrupted country on a 99 year lease. This is the best can happened for this country. If the people in Sri Lanka signs a petition to the Chief Justice asking him to look for a another administrator for this country, he has the power to do so. It is there is the independence agreement even. Without waiting till these jokers finishing this country lets get together and do a petition and look who is willing to take this country for next 99 years.
