No Other Candidate Has a Real Anti-Corruption Plan

Independent Presidential Candidate Ranil Wickremesinghe addressed the issue of corruption and the recovery of stolen assets, emphasizing the need for a proper plan and legal framework.

When asked whether it is legally permissible for a state leader to take actions against corruption outside the judicial process, Wickremesinghe responded with a pointed critique of his opponents.

Highlighting the role of designated institutions in tackling corruption, Wickremesinghe emphasized the need for a robust legal framework and adequate resources.

The president further explained we have already introduced the Anti-Corruption Act, but that alone is not enough. How do we recover assets acquired through criminal activities.

To address this, we have introduced a Bill on assets gained through crime.
