WHAT A TRAGEDY - it is comical that the real news of the day, is overshadowed by the fake news of the day, of pure speculation on the outcome of the No Confidence Motion against the PM - and PUNDITS ARE PONTIFICATING while IGNORING - CRIMES BEING COMMITTED UNDER THEIR NOSES IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Serious money is changing hands and
there is no one even in the Inland Revenue Department querying where this money
has come from to bribe these new members from all parties to change sides in
appointing/electing their Chairman.
It is no secret that the Chairmen of a
Pradeshiya Sabhas (Mayors) have enormous powers in authorizing shady deals for
money, against the public interest, especially in areas of “Environmental Carnage”.
Is it therefore surprising that money
can be offered to gain these positions, which makes a complete mockery of the
local government elections, and the questionable people who have been elected,
some by public vote, and others by being appointed by whoever was authorized.
By and large, the BUDD (pohottuwa) were elected to the Councils, though many
voters honestly did not know who they were voting for as they were merely
voting for a symbol.
So this is what we are left with.
It is clear that this was not the
INTENTION of the writers of the rules and laws for the Local Government, they
believed a fairer system was going to take place where there was going to be a
person accountable to ALL the residents of a ward who can go to in case of
need, and at the same time reflect the pulse of the voter, by distributing the
mix in a PR kind of way.
Neither has happened. The local
representative is a person with ties to the underworld and will only do
anything for a resident if it is in his interest first and not necessarily in
the interest of the resident. Secondly due to the nature of the horse trading
that we have seen this past week, with money changing hands, it is clear that
the position as a representative of the people has been overthrown and replaced
by a person who is going to enhance his personal agenda, whatever that may be
and varies from individual to individual.
It is clear that the conditions prior to
the election were far more favorable to the residents than that after, implying
that the whole election was a complete and utter farce.
With the 25% female representation
issue, even there, questions arise as to the suitability of most of the people
who have been nominated, as many don’t have a representation within their area,
and are merely there due to being in favor with the appointer, the Local
Organizer of the political party concerned. Another black mark on public
representation. Why is this not HIGHLIGHTED?

Crimes are taking place inside the rooms that are actually electing the Sabapathi, and no one is being held accountable. So who decides which crimes are allowed and which need to be investigated. Where is the AG's office representing the State on this?
When people are losers, the deshadrohis (those working against the interests of the average person who they represent) are making hay and are not even being labeled for what they are.
Daylight robbery under cameras and lights. It was never the case even in the American Wild West, we are really much worse.
It is clear that the PS elections were a farce.
Even parties that won overall majorities in the PS to govern, cannot muster the support of their own members to elect their chairman from their party because of these pressures and inducements making a mockery of the public vote, which has been set aside for other agendas.
The system is a disgrace, and it is clear no politics is better than this politics
