The upcoming five years under the foremost president Mr.
Gotabhaya Rajapaksha will be the most challenging period for corruptions and
briberies since he has already taken required steps to minimize corruptions and
cut off unnecessary wastes of government sector. As he regularly mentions,
government sector must be the supremacy of all other institutions as state
servants abide with providing a genuine service for the community. He expect
his subordinates to be more transparent than ever before when utilizing public
monetary resources.
Is it reasonable to shift government institutions for rented
apartments, paying millions of rupees as monthly rent on behalf of their close
relatives as previous government did, when it already has a comfortable place
for the administrative activities? Can anyone accept these kinds of apparent
corruptions? The problem is that the way of utilizing and managing the public
resources. They didn’t utilize tax income properly. Therefore it is not a quiet
surprise to say that our country has a significant income gap between
high-income groups and low-income groups when these allegations are being
occurred. The opportunity cost of these extra expenses could be utilized for a
fruitful task if they effectively used those scarce resources as the current
president proposes to do. Moreover, the former government could have the
ability to pay due foreign loans by withdrawing those unnecessary costs. Current
president started his first attempt by moving Agricultural ministry back to the
Govijana Mandiraya after ending the contract with private entity. His second
attempt was to limit monthly salaries of ministry heads up to 100,000 rupees,
suspending the extra income they earned during the past government period. Then
these saved money can be utilized for rural education where the children of low
income families are studying. And also these corrupted money can be shifted to
supply purified water for those who are regularly being distressed by unending
kidney problems. We are lucky enough if we could live in a society that totally
eliminate these deplorable circumstances at least in five years.
