In a powerful statement delivered during his budget speech, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake reiterated his unwavering commitment to eradicating corruption in Sri Lanka.
The President made a firm declaration that under his leadership, justice will be served for every rupee of taxpayers’ money, and no act of corruption will go unpunished.
He concluded his speech by expressing his vision for a society where bribery is feared rather than tolerated, emphasizing a zero-tolerance stance against all forms of corruption.
"We will not protect any official found guilty of bribery," President Dissanayake declared. "If any member of my administration is accused of accepting a bribe, they will not receive any defense or support from me."
The President’s remarks came as a strong message to both the public and his government, signaling that corruption in all its forms would be rigorously dealt with under his administration. This pledge to create a transparent and accountable government aims to restore the faith of Sri Lankan citizens in their leaders and public institutions.
President Dissanayake’s firm stance reflects his broader commitment to promoting good governance, ensuring that taxpayers’ money is used responsibly, and building a future where integrity is upheld at all levels of government.
