To become a country of Integrity is the need of the hour!

War

• Have the root causes of a bloody war, which waged for over thirty years and cost thousands of young Sri Lankans their lives, been addressed and resolved?

• If the root causes and the grievances that led to the ethnic conflict are not addressed and remains swept under the carpet, there is bound be another uprising and God knows how that will turn out to be.

Religious Turmoil

• Are we also going to passively watch and wait while extremist groups attack, destroy property, and discriminate minority ethnic groups and minority religious groups, under the guise of Pseudo-Nationalism?

Money

• Bribery has become the fourth language in our country. Do we want our children to be proficient and eloquent in this language just as much as we want them to master English? Most of us feel that we are not involved in bribery because we very subtly get out of it as we are clever in out-sourcing it to some other poor soul who does the dirty work!

• We need to educate the masses via social media and traditional media regarding instances where bribery occurs and also highlight action that can be taken to expose perpetrators who give AND receive bribes.

Abuse Against Women & Children

• With a view of combating the increase number of cases pertaining to the Abuse of both Women and Children, we are working towards  establishing a network of the numerous stakeholders at District  level and create  sufficient awareness regarding the Abuse of Women and Children and also create awareness of the available channels of redress  in their own district, thereby making the general public aware of the following and invite public engagement. 

  1.      ‘Whom’ to  reach out to and ‘how’ when someone is in potential danger.

  2.     ‘What’ to do next and ‘whom’ to contact and ‘how’ in the event of an unfortunate eventuality where one has become a victim.

  Please join us from your respective Districts..

Farmers

• ​Our farmers have always got a raw deal with successive governments, over the years.

  Either their produce is not purchased at the correct price or at the correct time or their fertilizer and/or water are not released at the correct time; to say the least.

Injustice

• We go to court expecting justice. But do we really get justice in a timely manner or is it when one has reached the end of the road in terms of both cash and age? Successive governments have failed to address the undue delays in our justice system and thousands upon thousands of litigants have gone to their graves without proper justice being served.

• The underworld or gangs of thugs exist because they are kept in business by drug lords and the like who are invariably connected to some politician or the other.

• The prison system has become corrupt that anything ranging from a cigarette, to drugs, to guns can be obtained by inmates at the correct price. The convicted who are imprisoned have access to everything which can make them even more evil, at their disposal. The Prison System is expected to reform prisoners and make them into better citizens. Reformation and deterrence are supposed to be achieved by punishing a wrongdoer.

• Many in the Public sector including the Police Department and the the Tri-forces have become puppets in the hands of unscrupulous politicians. We need to bring back the dignity and the decorum of the Public Sector, where Public sector employees including the officials in the Police Department and the Tri-forces could discharge their duties with honor and pride with their head held high, not worrying about whose toes they may be treading on.

Empowering Over-indebted Villagers

• There are thousands upon thousands of poor people scattered throughout the country  who are over indebted owing to irresponsible Money lending agencies who have entered both suburbs and villages in numerous forms.

Developing Our Small Entrepreneurs

• COVID-19 has hit Entrepreneurs especially the small entrepreneurs very badly.

• The introduced credit schemes through Banks too do not favour these Entrepreneurs too much, owing to their lack of providing collateral etc.

• Unfortunately a majority of our country's economic activity is in the hands of these small businesses and protecting and strengthening such businesses is of paramount importance.
