MR president relelceted in 2010

The government is deeply committed to the executive presidential system as found in the 1978 constitution. In fact, the government strengthened the executive presidential system by passing the 18th amendment to the Constitution thirteen months prior. Under this Constitution the most essential aspect of the rule of law, which is the supremacy of the law, was displaced by placing the executive president above the law. It is this displacement of the most essential component of rule of law that has brought the Sri Lankan Policing System to what it is today.
