A discussion with the heads of the National Steering Committee appointed to monitor the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan 2025-2029 and the relevant state and private sector institutions responsible for this initiative was held yesterday (30) at the Presidential Secretariat, under the patronage of Secretary to the President, Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake.
The National Anti-Corruption Action Plan, launched on April 9, 2025, under the theme “Towards a country of Integrity”, is an initiative based on the vision of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. It is scheduled to be implemented over a five-year period from 2025 onwards.
During the meeting, the Secretary to the President emphasized that the heads of all institutions tasked with responsibilities pertaining to the activities outlined in the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan must develop an action plan to meet their assigned duties. Furthermore, the National Steering Committee is expected to periodically assess the progress of these action plans.
The National Steering Committee comprises representatives from both the public and private sectors. The Steering Committee is chaired by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake while Ranga Dissanayake, Director General of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption, serves as its Vice Chairman and Convener.
The Presidential Media Division is fully responsible for socializing the views, actions, decisions and statements of His Excellency the President through the media. Electronic, print and new media will contribute to this through a credible and engaging approach.
The media department works as a source of information on the subject of the President’s vision and mission by maintaining good coordination with public and private media organizations and journalists.
National policies, plans and measures are explained to the people through the use of high quality media. Identify the fallacies and reveal the truth.
