    "What isn't happening anymore" is the government fostering the killers.



    You can't simply pull the plug on a criminal underworld that has been carefully fed and protected by previous governments for years
    So the new strategy is passive negligence instead of active support? What a relief for the victims

    Your boss doesn't seem to agree with your excuses though


    If you have the Presidency, the Police, Military, and a 2/3rds majority but still can't pull the plug on criminals after 18 months, you aren't a victim of the system you're just incompetent at running it. Inaction is a choice.

    If the underworld is still operating, it's because the government is either too scared to stop them, too incompetent to catch them, or feeding and protecting them just like the previous governments.

    Stop making excuses for them.

    Highly doubt any nation has ever successfully pulled the plug on its criminals in 18 months

    Well I haven't yet found a reason to believe his govt is "engaging in illegal practices" of the sort of the previous govts
    What's your take on the substandard coal tender? Is it entirely fabricated or is it just merely a mistake and nothing of actual seriousness?

    So you know better than President? He seemed pretty confident he could do it. If it's truly impossible, then he is just another politician selling fairytales

    Let’s see where the country stands after 60 months. We’re left with a wreck of a country with a powerful underworld after 600+ months of two party duopoly after all, it isn't fair to expect the third party to fix all that damage in just 18 months.

    I believe the supplier at fault was subjected to due fines as stipulated by the contract

    Oh, I didn't expect anything. :lol: knew exactly what we were getting.

    You're conveniently ignoring the video above where your President explicitly promised to wipe out the underworld in a "very short time."

    Is 18 months not a short time? He didn't just give a vague slogan, he claimed he knew exactly what the root causes were, who was stopping the law, and what the challenges were.

    If he knew the root causes and the stoppers back then, why is he still studying the problem 1.5 years later while 22 people die in 8 weeks?

    You can't claim it's not happening anymore while simultaneously begging for 5 more years to fix it. Stop gaslighting.

    That didn't answer my question. How did it happen in the first place?

    Even 60 months is a short time when you consider they are dealing with the fallout of over 600+ months of rule by the previous two parties

    That didn't answer my question. How did it happen in the first place?

    You mean how did the supplier breach the contract?

    Is there no suspicions, that there could be an ill practice in the tender process? Is it that substandard coal shipments under this govt are the faults of the supplier, and all issues in procurement processes under previous administrations were corruption in the tender process?

    Thing is, if the supplier was fined as stipulated by the contract there would be no profit to be had from the shipment. Why would they even bribe the authorities if there is no profit in it?

    How do you know that there is zero profit? Can there be still profit even after paying the fines.

    They reduced the payment to the actual calorific value delivered and imposed fines on top of that.

    I don't think the supplier would pay bribes on top of all that lost revenue but let's see if they continue to send substandard coal (if that's the case we could assume that their profit margin is so high that they could absorb the government fines + reduced payments + bribes and still make a profit)

    Yep

    Senadhipathi’s Avant Garde is a sprawling security corporation, with companies in Panama, where Mossack Fonseca is based, and Cyprus. In his official curriculum vitae, previously made available on the website for the company he operates in Cyprus, Senadhipathi also claims he was was appointed as an Advisor on Maritime Intelligence to the Minister of Defence and National Security of the Republic of Maldives since 20th August 2012 to advise the Maldivian Minister of Defence and National Security Maldives. Senadhipathi has since fallen foul of the Maldivian regime, and his previous recruiter, the country’s defence minister Mohamed Nazim is in jail on weapons smuggling charges.

    Defence minister Nazim's conviction was later overturned and nullified by the Supreme Court in 2018. Legally, he was cleared because the court ruled the conviction was unsound.

    New government, new acquittals. Quite sure even Keheliya Rambukwella would be acquitted if a Rajapakse takes power tomorrow.
