Mervyn's Commission and toilet visits

The SLFP central committee has appointed a three-member committee to look into the recent incidents involving Dr.Mervyn, this is in addition to the one-man committee appointed by the Media Minister, Anura.P.Yapa. Yapa's pissed that Mervyn didn't get his permission to attack the Rupvahini fellow. One of the best quotes on these commissions comes from Pieter Keuneman, the Stalinist LSSPer who supposedly said,
Commissions are like a morning visit to the toilet: first there is a sitting, then there is a little deliberation, then there is a little noise and finally you drop the matter! [link]
