Sri Lanka falling short of anti-corruption promises says Transparency International

Transparency International said that Sri Lankan leaders were falling short of their bold promises to reduce corruption, reports Colombo Page.

The organisations report, released in Berlin on Wednesday, found Sri Lanka to rank 83rd out of 175 countries in the corruption index.

In a press release the organisation said the desire for change was huge, noting a host of governments in India and Sri Lanka that came to power on a platform of anti-corruption.

Sri Lanka scored 37 points, which was a point lower than it scored in the previous year.
