Corruption: Making a difference View(s):The Anti-Corruption Act straining to seek passage through Parliament this week has now been put off for later in the month due to delays in making last-minute changes to it while accommodating Opposition requests. That corruption is endemic in Sri Lanka, like in many countries that remain poor due to it, is legendary. The former Bribery and Corruption Commission (CIABOC) introduced more than two decades ago for the same reasons of rampant corruption at that time, never went beyond recording statements and filing defective indictments. Israel helped the Sri Lankan Government, especially in the East to neutralise the LTTE and is now promising investment in Sri Lanka. Yet another world record for Sri Lanka.
