Absence of transparency in public disclosure of Cabinet decisions highlighted
Senior election monitor Rohana Hettiarachchi explained the difficulty in ascertaining a government performance on the basis of Cabinet decisions taken as all such decisions weren't made available to the public.
Appearing on Sirasa 'Pethikada' with presenter Asoka Dias, yesterday (30), Hettiarachchi revealed PAFFREL (People's Action for Free and Fair Elections) and March 12 Movement (M12M) have discussed the conundrum with the government.
Hettiarachchi underscored the importance of transparency in respect of Cabinet decisions. In the absence of anticipated transparency, PAFFREL and M12M had no option but to examine 299 Cabinet decisions taken during the period November 2024 to May 2025.
