When Rome was burning Nero played the violin.
Hon Champika is a ‘doer’ and and ‘achiever’.
His tenure as the Energy Minister left a rich legacy that flourishes even to this day.
Unfortunately, doers and achievers are usually ‘meat in the sandwich’ because of corrupt political leadership above them and corrupt bureaucracy below them.
Proposed legislation should exempt all Ministers of State being liable for crime either by commission or omission within the precincts of the defined Megapolis Area. Searching for excuses or resorting to destroy available evidence such as CCTV camera footage etc. will not be required then .
Hon .Minister Champika Ranawaka , Our leader of Hela Urumaya ,Protector of our cherished Heritage and Gentleman par excellence should be given unshackled freedom on his Mission of making the Megapolis a wonder in ‘Alice in wonderland ‘ type.
