Amidst controversies about irregularities in the prisons, the Cabinet has decided not to grant a service extension to Prisons Chief Rumy Marzook.
At last Wednesday`s meeting the Cabinet had reportedly decided to retire the Prisons Chief from April 30.
Speaking to the media, Justice and Judicial Reforms Minister Amarasiri Dodangoda said he was given to understand that Mr. Marzook was due to retire even before April 30.
'This information was made available during the investigation into certain irregularities said to have taken place in the prisons,' the minister said.
However when contacted by the Daily Mirror, Mr. Marzook who has held the post for the last two years said the appointment he received as the Prisons head was a permanent one.
'I have not received any intimation with regard to the Cabinet decision so far. Anyway I would respect the Cabinet decision and am ready to move out,' Mr. Marzook said. 'Prisons are not good places. They are full of corruption which I have tried my best to combat,' he said.
'It appears that I may have to take the rap for certain irregularities the blame for which should go to certain officials,' Mr. Marzook said.

Dear Mr Marzook,
You cannot blame the other prison officials for those irregularities you are talking about,if they took place during your tenure as the commissioner..You are the Boss and you have to be solely responsible for everything that happened both good and bad,and you are guilty of any flaws of the administration for not doing the needful to correct them.THERE IS NO WAY OUT.

Here are the excuses given for the irregularities.
1. The Europeans were given luxury accommodation because, they were more attractive and hence more likely to fall prey to homos inside the prison.
2. The rich were given luxury accommodation and food because, the usual prison food does not agree with their digestive system.
3. The Kadir murder suspect was given luxury accommodation because, the TNA made a cash payment and the prison officials could not offend them. |

You foolish man you have a habit of writing foolish things .See your above comment.You are so naive to think that just because a person is a relative of a UNPier he is a bad person. You are utterly foolish as a man does not become good or bad due to his relationship with a politician or a political party. UNP is a party that has done yoeman services to the country. All the major development work including the Mahaweli were work of the UNP. It introduced the free education. Smile4U you would not have been even in your mother's womb when the UNP as a party did all these services in the past. So please keep your mouth shut and talk only when you are spoken to as otherwise you would look like a bull in the china shop.Were you the registrar of birth and marriages in Sri Lanka to know that Mazrook has many UNP memebers as his relatives.

| Cabinet can remove Marzuk for alleged corruption in the Prisons for which he has still not been found guilty. How about removing the Minister who is said to have made enormous money by corrupt means allowing his staff to issue bogus visas.Even in a developing country like India such Ministers would have resigned immediately to safeguard the good name of the Government. Where do you find such Ministers in our dear motherland. |

Athos,
The Kadir murder suspect was given luxury accommodation because, the TNA made a cash payment and the prison officials could not offend them.
The Kadir murder suspect was given luxury accommodation because, he did a service (for money ofcourse) to Some in this new government - by clearing the way for PR/PM.
The murderer also, in eliminating Kadir, served mother Lanka, to put the blame on LTTE. |
