Findings of countrywide survey:
-
The Sri Lankan public perceives the police, the Customs, the judiciary, etc., as being among the ten most corruption-prone institutions, according to a survey conducted the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) last year, as part of its national anti-corruption action plan.
The police ranking the first among the institutions most prone to bribery and corruption are followed by politics, and the Customs Department, the Department of Immigration and Emigration, the Education Ministry and schools, the Land Registry, the Provincial Councils, the Foreign Employment Bureau, the Divisional Secretariats, and the Registrar General's Department and the judiciary.

Sponsors were coming forward with invitations as well as funds and we were able to increase the number of meetings. The demand was so great that we had to split our schedule of meetings so that while Gamini concentrated on the Kandyan areas and the Mahaweli region, Lalith worked the urban areas in the key demographic triangle of Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara.
