Honorable
Speaker, in a statement issued yesterday by Mohan Pieris in the Island, he said
“maintaining the dignity and decorum associated with the office of the Chief
Justice and ensuring its respectability and propriety is [his] prime concern.
As the pinnacle of our judicial administration, it should be safeguarded in its
pristine purity; now and for the future – in the need to preserve justice as a
wholesome entity.” Like a harlot extolling the virtues of virginity, Mohan
Pieris, who brought international disrespect and condemnation to our judicial
system by his scandalous appointment two years ago, and his conduct since then,
is now shedding tears for the ‘pristine purity’ of the office of the Chief
justice.
