The 100-day programme 

By Neville Ladduwahetty-February 3, 2015

We have witnessed the initial workings of the 100 - day programme. One of the most significant acts was the manner in which CJ Mohan Peiris was removed and former CJ Shirani Bandaranayake was reinstated. If, as the Prime Minister stated in Parliament the reason for removing CJ Mohan Peiris and reinstating former CJ Shirani Bandaranayake was that the process by which she was removed was "flawed", the manner in which CJ Mohan Peiris was removed did not involve any process at all – not even a flawed process. The only process at work was intimidation and thuggery in the form of street demonstrations demanding his removal. This appears to be the process at work under the brand name "yahapalanaya", considering similar demands for the removal of persons such as the Chairperson of the UGC, Bribery Commissioner, Chairman of Pradeshiya Sabhas and others.
