Government Corruption and Mismanagement
Critical commentary on systemic corruption, crony favoritism, and governance failures including unexplained millions in political secretaries' safes and failed development projects. Posts reference low corruption perception rankings and calls for accountability.
Turns out the only thing moving faster than a $392 million project in Sri Lanka is the money disappearing from political safes. At least the corruption is consistent—it's the one government initiative that actually meets its deadline.
Unexplained millions found stuffed in safes belonging to political secretaries show how deeply entrenched crony corruption remains in #SriLanka. How many more private safes full of ill-gotten gains are hiding in plain sight? 1/ @Welikumbura https://t.co/xHamSwGZgj
Just a reminder to our #SriLanka leaders: NEVER forget 2022! 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka scores just 35/100 on the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, ranking 107th out of 182. #Dissanayake, clean governance must be a reality, not just another political slogan. @Thusi_Kumar https://t.co/xqVZCcBH2q
The fact that a $392 million project backed by SDP tax incentives still collapsed due to land disputes, regulatory bottlenecks, and timeline friction proves that red tape is strangling #SriLanka’s economy. 1/ @roelraymond https://t.co/x6E5NNzfzd
