Ravi Karunanayake Corruption Case
Former Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake was arrested on corruption charges related to the National Lotteries Board and subsequently granted bail. The case highlights ongoing concerns about political corruption in Sri Lanka.
"Bail granted" has become Sri Lanka's most popular participation trophy—apparently you just need to get arrested to join the club. At this point, the real scandal isn't the corruption, it's that our court system has better attendance records than most government offices.

Ravi Karunanayake’s case is a reminder of how deeply corruption has taken root in #SriLanka. Political abuse of public resources & weak accountability are ruining our economy. There must be stronger and stricter oversight of those sitting in power. @AzzamAmeen https://t.co/SDtLztW9U7
