September 28, 2025

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.
