His failed attempt to, \u2018step out of the crease\u2019 and hit a six over the bowler\u2019s head, might have been influenced by the erratic coaching. The lack of readiness to return to the crease after the missed shot resulted in a smart stumping by the attentive wicket-keeper. Did he get carried away and lost his head?The intricacies and demands of the sport, like footwork and eye-hand coordination in cricket exceed challenges of navigating school gates in driving a bus, let alone eloquent oratory.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The \u2018coach\u2019 is anticipated to clinch the Presidential stakes in 2024, yet the question looms: will he elevate Roshan, relegated to a mere \u2018spare part\u2019 of SJB, to the role of Sports Minister in a SJB cabinet?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Glorious uncertainties in cricket and politics? Harin is back, and he has prepared the pitch observing the rules. It\u2019s about how you played, not just who won or lost.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Three pillars: Sanctified Doctrine, needs Separation and Honour<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The system of checks and balances among the three branches of government\u2014Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary\u2014is crucial for maintaining a healthy democracy. This oversight ensures that no branch becomes too powerful and that each acts within its constitutional boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Defining abstract doctrine of \u201cseparation of powers\u201d or phenomena like \u201clife\u201d itself presents formidable challenges, as evident from NASA\u2019s committee of intellectuals that failed to define \u2018LIFE\u2019 conclusively<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This system, traced back to ancient and medieval theories, ensures checks and balances within governance. Successive presidents have reshaped it according to their preferences. The 1978 Constitution notably centralized power within the executive presidency, sparking ongoing discussions about how to curtail the executive president\u2019s authority and achieve a more balanced distribution of power among the three branches. This departure from the democratic principle and the intended purpose of a constitution is a cause for concern.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The establishment of the Constitutional Council [CC] in 2001 was a strategic move aimed at limiting the president\u2019s unilateral authority in crucial appointments. Through the creation of the CC, the intention was to transfer the power of these appointments away from the president\u2019s sole discretion. The Council was specifically assigned the responsibility of supervising and endorsing these appointments, highlighting the importance of consensus and collaborative decision-making in the selection of vital positions.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">President Gotabaya asked Members of Parliament to take on the premiership, but they wavered, leading to an unexpected consequence. Ultimately, the task landed on Ranil [rejected], who took charge amid tumultuous political and economic challenges in a financially strained country. With confidence, he navigated the nation toward stability, averting disaster and chaos. His recent announcement of a Parliamentary Select Committee to probe delays attributed to the Council sheds light on issues affecting police functioning and court proceedings, which have encountered significant obstacles due to the lack of approvals. Specifically, the President highlighted the Council\u2019s failure to endorse his nominee for the Supreme Court and his persistent requests to extend the tenure of the current Inspector General of Police (IGP) beyond the retirement age.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Rather than a precise definition, the essence lies in respecting the concept\/doctrine and honouring the dignity of Three Branches within the State<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The President hastily appeared in the House to counter Member of Parliament M. A. Sumanthiran PC\u2019s perspective on the relationship between the Constitutional Council [CC] and the Three Pillars during the subsequent Parliament session. The President\u2019s argument relied on the Constitution\u2019s categorization, positioning the CC under the jurisdiction of the Executive President [EP]. This implication of a subservient or subordinate role for the CC under the EP\u2019s authority is considered unacceptable within the constitutional framework.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s shocking to witness someone like Wickremasinghe, recognized for his strong liberal democratic values and distinguished political acumen in Southeast Asia, engaging in mundane discussions within Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The 20th Amendment significantly enhanced the powers of the executive president, consolidating considerable authority within that office. Subsequently, the 21st Amendment was introduced to address this issue, aiming to amend the powers vested in the executive presidency. Interestingly, it\u2019s a notable trend that nearly every incoming president, influenced by their perception of the executive presidency, tends to introduce amendments to the constitution. It\u2019s a recurring pattern that incoming leaders often pledge to eliminate the executive presidency during their election campaigns, albeit R Premadasa in the past. However, once in power, they tend to maintain or even enhance these executive powers rather than fulfilling their commitment to reducing them.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The JVP, which historically advocated for the abolition of the executive presidency, has notably become quieter about this issue in recent times, especially when they sense a potential opportunity to assume the presidency. This perception of opportunism and hypocrisy can undermine public trust in political actors, highlighting the need for consistent and principled approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There was a broad consensus across various parties that the powers vested in the executive needed to be restricted or curtailed. The administration that succeeded Kumaratunga was led by Mahinda Rajapaksa, who significantly undermined the provisions of the 17th Amendment. Ultimately, in 2010, the government passed the 18th Amendment, effectively abolishing the 17th Amendment. This move dismantled several of the checks and balances initially put in place, marking a notable shift in the country\u2019s governance structure and consolidating more power within the executive presidency.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The disregard or manipulation of a constitutional framework strikes at the core of the principles that uphold a stable and just system of governance. When such actions take place, it\u2019s not merely a reflection on the Parliament but on the entire political system. It indicates a substantial erosion of ethical standards and a departure from the foundational values cherished in the constitution.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Defining abstract doctrine of \u201cseparation of powers\u201d or phenomena like \u201clife\u201d itself presents formidable challenges, as evident from NASA\u2019s committee of intellectuals that failed to define \u2018LIFE\u2019 conclusively. Rather than a precise definition, the essence lies in respecting the concept\/doctrine and honouring the dignity of Three Branches within the State. The separation of powers intends to prevent one branch from accumulating excessive authority, emphasizing the need for balance and collaboration among branches. It\u2019s about recognizing their unique functions while fostering harmony to uphold the system\u2019s integrity.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The freelance columnist can be reached at- kksperera1@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMinister on thy journey back to the pavilion\u201d &#8211; By K K S Perera Source :\u00a0dailymirror Cricket still takes up valuable Parliamentary time.
