An overwhelming majority want those who are responsible for the economic crisis to be held accountable, and believe that corruption has increased after the economic crisis.
Read the survey report on #DemocraticGovernance (Wave 5) conducted by Social Indicator, the #survey research arm of @CPASL. This reflects public perception on #KeyIssues in the current state of #governance in Sri Lanka. . wp.me/p36loV-1Wd
இந்த கால்நடை வளர்ப்பாளர்களின் அவலத்துக்கு அரசே பொறுப்பு. அரசின் ‘ராடருக்குள்’ அவர்கள் இல்லை என்றே தெரிகிறது. இந்த மக்களின் உயிர்களும் சக்தியும் நம்பிக்கையும் போகும்போது அவர்கள் என்ன ஒரு பெரிய எடுப்பிலான இறுதிச் சடங்கிற்காகவா காத்திருக்கிறார்கள்? maatram.org/?p=11194 #lka
மேய்ச்சல் நிலங்கள் தொடர்பாக #மயிலத்தமடுவில் தமிழ் கால்நடை பண்ணையாளர்களால் பல மாதங்களாக நடத்தப்படும் போராட்டமானது பொறுப்புக்கூறல் மற்றும் நல்லிணக்கத்தை எதிர்கொள்வதில் உள்ள சவால்களை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது.
This #SocialJusticeDay, we are reminded of the imp of advancing social justice that enables societies & economies to function more cohesively when prioritized. The dark reality of #SriLanka’s microfinance sector highlights this: 👉bit.ly/49AN2k5
For those asking what from the Supreme Court determination hasn't been included in the OSA. Here are three examples compiled by @CPASL The full statement is available at cpalanka.org/statement-on-t…
“In light of these and other concerns, CPA urges the Government to review the process and substance of the OSA, take immediate steps to repeal the OSA and introduce a law that genuinely addresses the concerns of online safety.” #OnlineSafetyBill #OnlineSafetyAct #SriLanka
CPA calls for repeal of the draconian #OnlineSafetyAct which has been enacted by ignoring the Supreme Court rulings. The enactment process raises serious questions regarding law-making and its impact on #ConstitutionalDemocracy in #SriLanka. . wp.me/p36loV-1Vx [1/6]
@VeriteResearch said 66% of people don't know much about the #OSB, but (prior to amendments) @CPASL said its definitions were vague, its jurisdiction overly broad, that it lacked free speech safeguards, could impact ISPs & gave the executive too much discretion over appointments.
