Anandasangaree tells President to stop de-merger

Encouraging some to steal

We send this to you because we believe you are interested in removing from our midst the culture of people in position stealing by design the country's resources using their official positions in a position to rob - an exercise by which eventually every single person of this country - rich, middle class or poor - are called upon to pay. You will recall recently that it was alleged that a mere Provincial Councillor was under investigation for having accumulated assets far in excess of his known sources of income. It has also been alleged that inspectors of police and principals of nondescript schools have invested several million rupees with Sakvithi Finance - just to give you one example.

This culture , that started in a small way around the late 1980's, reached adulthood during 1994/2000 and as been stated has increased now.

How about serving the country and the people? It has been said that although petrol can be marketed at less than Rs.60 per litre the government is unwilling to reduce from Rs 157.

It is well known that prices are inflated from those obtaining in Colombo - in some cases over 200% - which is perhaps why the Jaffna people are in near- starvation condition for many months now.

What should be done, in the name of good governence , is to give life to those sacrosanct provisions of the AR's and FR of govt purchase procedure. These tenders should be publicly announced and experienced and knowledgeable officials of unquestionable integrity appointed members of these Tender Boards.

Tenders should be awarded on the basis of the lowest price or, if otherwise, under conditions that can be rationally explained.

Any government should have no compunction in following this decent procedure, which we in this country faithfully did during those years when officialdom was not polluted. .Then it was gentlemen and educated Ministers and able officials who will neither bend nor break in the face of filthy lucre.

Please use your good influences to bring back the country to its rails and save it from the nauseating depths of corruption it has been led into, which is far more destructive than the so-called ethnic war.

We are sending copies to the ambassadors of the USA, Japan and the E/U: HC's of Britain, Canada, Australia and India, Editors of leading newspapers, political leaders and key officials - former and now - with the hope all these friends will help to rid this country of the deadly scourge of corruption.
