Bribery and Corruption

Sarath Fonseka

We will not tolerate any act of bribery or corruption.

Our policies will raise awareness of bribery, its prevention and give guidance to both the reporting of suspected bribery and how the investigation of that report will proceed.

We encourage the creation of citizens’ groups to scrutinize Government spending at each level. Citizens should be able to ask questions on how their tax money is spent and that it is spent wisely.

The current Government has plundered public property with callous disregard and no action has been taken to prevent inducement and fraud by the present administration.

Under the current Executive Presidential system the parliament has become an institution that is corrupt and that abets corruption.

Currently our country faces issues such as:

  • Lack of transparency
  • Flawed laws and procedures
  • Weak leadership
  • Family and friends of the top officials being given favorable treatment such as government jobs, tenders, government loans and privileged information
  • Having individuals favored by the administration act as intermediaries for deals made by officials
  • Power without accountability
  • Lack of enforcement

We believe if bribery and corruption are put to an end, the economy will be on its way to recovery.

We will:

  • increase the transparency of Governmental policies and procedures
  • investigate corrupt deals made by Government officials and hold people accountable for their actions
  • instigate independent monitoring and pricing of federal transactions
  • minimize political intervention in private affairs
  • improve salaries and benefits
