\n<\/em>President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday said that in order to achieve prosperity and development there should be no conflicts among the three main branches of governance the executive, legislature and judiciary.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unquote <\/em><\/p>\n

Statement made above by HE The President needs an amendment ,Thre tree of government should surely have three branches with leaves representing\u00a0 the Lawmakers representing Ligsilature ,President and his team representing Executive. And Judges and State Law enforcement representing Judiciary .<\/p>\n

Government to last long sustainable years require a good foundation .representing the roots of democracy by Good Governance .<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s context the branch of Judiciary is dying due the inability to maintain law and order due to corruption and in efficiency and bureaucracy. Legislature does not perform due to non-cooperation of the members to take country forward as some of the ruling and opposition party members act with self interest .Executive is not effective citing need to maintain democracy and allowing some sections of the society to behave to rabid dogs .<\/p>\n

The root -Good governance \u2013 seems ailing and failing .Stories we hear daily indicates that corruption is rampant ,an transparency is getting oblique .State apparatchik\u00a0 is inefficient and non caring due to fear of being persecution .Development project are stalling and getting more and more expensive due to delays .<\/p>\n

If we need to achieve prosperity, we need to provide fertiliser to the root-good governance by opening up a dialogue among all parties and discuss and agree how to take the country forward considering the plights of all sectors of the society .<\/p>\n

Today Executive is unable to perform because of fear of making some decisions in changing some bureaucratic laws with the help of legislature ,with blessing s from Judiciary .Everyday we hear some parties and individuals initiating court action against any action proposed by the Legislature and the Executive .<\/p>\n

Only solution we have is to prop the Executive using the powers vested and issue executive decrees pertaining to changes and development project which are needed to develop the country .<\/p>\n

What I mean is in addition to strong roots ,we need a Benevolent Dictator .<\/p>\n
