By Udara Soysa –The National People’s Power (NPP) government has undeniably taken meaningful steps to strengthen the rule of law in Sri Lanka.
Yet there remains one area where this progress falters, and where the legacy of inequality stubbornly persists: the menace of VIP motorcades and their police outriders.
Each of these rulings underscores the same principle: the law binds everyone, and public power must serve public ends.
If the NPP government truly wishes to entrench the rule of law, it must confront this culture head-on.
If the government is serious about transforming Sri Lanka into a nation where law rules over privilege, then it must begin here.
