There is, however, another way in which pressure on the issue of
accountability can be minimized. That is through the adoption of a
genuine political solution to the ethnic question.

The present system of governance/administration has to be changed to a New System of Governance/Administration with true and pure Democracy for the prevalence of Good Governance.

The functions of Parliament – the decision making body of Government – must be separated and tiny spheres of Parliament must be established in all parts of the country and representatives of ordinary citizens at grass-root level be empowered to participate and theirdecisions heard as part and parcel of the Parliament.

It is hoped that the above concept would be acceptable as being unique and distinct in comparison with other suggestions of the like and a little better than the “Democracies” practiced with “checks and balances” in the West.

This change would help to combat corruption, oppression, injustice, discrimination and the like
and help the growth of development in a meaningful way thus bringing peace, prosperity and happiness to everyone while upholding human values and dignity.

It would further help the country to reduce its financial commitments in its ongoing work and future works in developing the country..

Thus with the prevalence of Good Governance in a country, there would lesser problems and conflicts, increased development work in the country and every “rupee/cent” spent, would directly benefit the ordinary citizens in whose name it is done, and thus raise the standard of living of the ordinary citizens
resulting in Peace, prosperity and happiness to each and every one respecting and upholding the rights, duties, human values and dignity of the others.

The establishment and maintenance of a just and fair system of governance would enable every citizen to the right of performing his/her duty by the country for a lasting social reconciliation and happiness without physically separating the country!.

More details would become available as the conversation proceeds.

The above opinion is humbly submitted for your kind perusal and comments.

Sovereignty belongs to the people even under the present unilateral constitution of 1972 et al. BUT in practice governments have arrogated to themselves that power nominally in the name of the people hopelessly divided since Sept. 1956 onwards under the Sinhala Only Buddhism foremost policies, laws and practices of what is essentially an intolerant racist religious bigoted state backed by race riots, pogroms and a war of its own creation spending billions of dollars while also creating State terrorism and Tiger terrorism! And it is still winding along under cover of PTA!
Who are the gainers in the end? The politicians in power and their supporters! They will not declare their assets and incomes even under the law. The peoples keep on ‘fighting’ meanwhile!!!
Solutions have come and gone but the travails and articles of this sort are a way of entertainment to get things off their chest.!!!
The UN system has taken over the burning issue to expose the underlying sore eating into the political fabric of society. None can predict where all this rot will end!
