President’s Counsels Bow At The Cracking Of Presidential Whip!
Sources
in Hulfsdorp expressed amusement at the sight of the recently appointed
President’s Counsel being ‘summoned’ to meet the President on July 26th (yesterday.)
According to the President’s official website, this was following a ‘tradition’ for them to meet the President after they were appointed as President’s Counsels.
However
a senor lawyer and President’s Counsel of an older generation, speaking
to Colombo Telegraph explained that there was no such tradition at all.
None of us ever were called to meet either past President JR
Jayewardene, past President Ranasinghe Premadasa or even former
President Chandrika Kumaratunga.
“These
are not state appointments but discretionary ‘honours’ so why are these
lawyers being asked to come like this?” he asked.
