THE WEEK THAT WAS
The third reading of the Budget 2021 was passed in parliament with amendments on Thursday with a majority of 97 votes. a short while ago, 151 voting in favor while 54 voted against it. It was in a sense a reaffirming of the two-thirds majority that the ruling party, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), acquired to get the 20th Amendment passed. It wasn’t unexpected.
The news of the week was however dominated by issues related to Covid-19. First let’s consider the sober part of things (numbers and measures) before we get to the circus activities.
Mr. Minister, that is justice done View(s):
Poor Hon. Mr Ali Sabry, Minister of Justice, Attorney-at-Law and President’s Counsel. What other hidden assets he has not declared, the modest man that he is said to be, I do not know. At least he did, with much reluctance one would venture to surmise, admit that he has been 25 years at the Bar.
Justice Minister Ali Sabry
I might admit as well that I know of prominent persons who have spent more years at the bar and never left the place until the doors closed at midnight. That, however, is another story.
