Dr Sarath Obeysekera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

I wrote several articles with suggestions that Your Excellency should take the stick on to your hand and become a benevolent dictator\u00a0 ( or even pretend to be one as your character is not of such nature ) and impose law and order .<\/p>\n

Ministers are abusing the power, wasting public money, parliament also wasting public money by holding no confidence motions where opposition fairly well knew that it will be defeated.<\/p>\n

Few ministers who have preached for yahapalanya is now begging the parliament to make funds available from luxury cars to go and see the public.<\/p>\n

Few weeks back we had floods and let of promises by Magapolis and everything is quite now, If you go to Meethotamulle you see the status of affairs .<\/p>\n

Lane discipline on roads which was much publicised, has gone out of the pavement \u00a0,police monitoring breaking of traffic laws using CCTV have gone dark\u201d .<\/p>\n

Private hospitals making a mint by charging VAT ( a word hated by all) from every person\u00a0 .and yet not \u00a0giving much of a service .I am told that patients seeking treatment under insurance schemes have been told,that Insurance Company does not cover the VAT ,hence patients have to bear the cost !<\/p>\n

(One leading hospital pay a santhosam bribes to OPD doctors for admitting patients for in house treatment (even if it may not be necessary !)<\/p>\n

There was an article about a president in a south American country who live like a peasant, In india ministers ride only Ambassador cars and wear white simple clothes\u00a0 .Some of our ministers hold a weddings with over 2000 guests in an air-conditioned Marquee and yet call his own cabinet colleague a Natami .<\/p>\n

Another MP calls doctors perverts and another one states that the price of cars is increased to stop unnecessary people buying cars ( one wonders whether increasing cement prices ,government is contemplating unnecessary people buying cement to build houses .<\/p>\n

My driver who has voted for a change tells me that UNP should have joined with TNA and formed a government, and \u00a0avoid some accused MPs taking over cabinet portfolios .I told him that they are all the same .<\/p>\n

H E President promised that he will not contest again, that means he has nothing to lose .<\/p>\n

Please do something to put the country in right track<\/p>\n

Your excellency, people will push you to stay for life if you can put things right.<\/p>\n
