President Maithripala Sirisena to appear in court !

(Lanka-e-News -27.Sep.2016, 10.30PM) The president Maithripala Sirisena of good governance is getting ready to demonstrate  that  the notion  hitherto harbored that  the executive president is above the law is no longer tenable, and that era is over. He is therefore preparing to appear before court, based on reports reaching Lanka e news.  

The president is readying to give evidence in court in the case filed against Tissa Attanayake based on most serious charges of circulating a document bearing the forged signature of the president via the media during the run up to the last presidential elections with a view to dupe and deceive the people . This means lawyers of both sides will have the opportunity to cross examine the incumbent president . The latter will be liable for punishment like an ordinary witness if evidence is proved false. 
 
Sometimes even the Prime Minister will have to be a witness in this case.

In the circumstances , in the not too distant future  the people will be able to taste the fruits of their labors consequent upon  the welcome change they brought about on 8 th January 2015 . This is a result of the 19 th amendment introduced after the advent of the new government under the president himself.

If the incumbent president can be brought before the court , who says , crooked , corrupt , cruel ,murderous and despotic ex president and his first lady (former) cannot be hauled up before court , his having gone  on pension notwithstanding ?
