    Mega Cabinets in Sri Lanka (Report No 1) Perceptions and Implications This position paper is published under the ‘Ministerial Expenditure Monitoring’ programme of Transparency International Sri Lanka. It provides an analysis based on the findings of the programme to date on expenditure involved in maintaining a large cabinet in Sri Lanka within the current political and economic context. We acknowledge the team of researchers headed by Ms. Lakmini Seneviratne, (LL.B (Hons) (Colombo), LL.M (Harvard), Attorney-at-Law) consultant for the programme for the invaluable work done in this regard. Transparency International Sri Lanka 28/1, Buller’s Lane, Colombo 7. Tel./Fax : 0112-501474, 0112-592287 E-Mail : [email protected] Web : http://www.tisrilanka.org 1 Introduction Transparency International defines political corruption as “the misuse of political power for private benefit, in particular the benefits of power, status and wealth” 1. According to the definition, it takes two basic forms: corrupt accumulation and extraction and corruption for power preservation and expansion and includes situations where loopholes in national laws and regulations are deliberately side- stepped, ignored and custom-made. Notably, an idea survey conducted among a sample of the Sri Lankan public uncovered some common public perceptions on “ministers” in Sri Lanka, which while being predominantly pessimistic were significantly analogous to the TI definition with the use of terms such as “looter”, “liar, parliament, power, rich”, “crooks”, “big tummy-always shouting doing nothing”, “stupid”, “corruption”, “too many”, “bribery” etc. The Cabinet of Sri Lanka under Executive President Mahinda Rajapakse was sworn in on 23 rd November 2005 with 26 Ministers.

  • Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Volume 2
    Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Edited by Asanga Welikala Volume 2 18 Failure of Quasi-Gaullist Presidentialism in Sri Lanka Suri Ratnapala Constitutional Choices Sri Lanka’s Constitution combines a presidential system selectively borrowed from the Gaullist Constitution of France with a system of proportional representation in Parliament. The scheme of proportional representation replaced the ‘first past the post’ elections of the independence constitution and of the first republican constitution of 1972. It is strongly favoured by minority parties and several minor parties that owe their very existence to proportional representation. The elective executive presidency, at least initially, enjoyed substantial minority support as the president is directly elected by a national electorate, making it hard for a candidate to win without minority support. (Sri Lanka’s ethnic minorities constitute about 25 per cent of the population.) However, there is a growing national consensus that the quasi-Gaullist experiment has failed. All major political parties have called for its replacement while in opposition although in government, they are invariably seduced to silence by the fruits of office. Assuming that there is political will and ability to change the system, what alternative model should the nation embrace? Constitutions of nations in the modern era tend fall into four categories. 1.! Various forms of authoritarian government. These include absolute monarchies (emirates and sultanates of the Islamic world), personal dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies (Iran) and single party rule (remaining real or nominal communist states). 2.! Parliamentary government based on the Westminster system with a largely ceremonial constitutional monarch or president. Most Western European countries, India, Japan, Israel and many former British colonies have this model with local variations.
