November 05, Colombo (LNW): President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has made a fervent appeal for a fundamental transformation in Sri Lanka’s political culture, asserting that political practices must adhere to established standards of conduct.

Speaking at a public rally in Monaragala, Dissanayake articulated the need for politicians to operate within a clear framework that respects the law and promotes ethical governance.

During his address, Dissanayake underscored the absence of these crucial standards within the current political system, pointing to alarming trends such as the use of unregistered and potentially smuggled vehicles by public officials.

It seems that certain individuals feel exempt from the law, which is why we advocate for the principle that everyone is equal before the law. This principle must hold true for all citizens, regardless of their position—be it the president or the prime minister,” the President said.

Dissanayake’s comments reflect a growing frustration with the status quo, where misuse of public resources and disregard for legal frameworks have become pervasive.

He passionately denounced this culture of impunity, asserting, “We cannot allow public property to be misappropriated. Our aim is to eradicate such practices and to standardise the way politics is conducted in our nation.

By advocating for these changes, Dissanayake hopes to inspire a new generation of leaders committed to upholding the rule of law and serving the interests of the people.
