Q: In your view, has the aragalaya led to a united Sri Lanka – and if so, is this unity sustainable?
A: The aragalaya has united Sri Lankans across all levels of society against corruption. This is mostly because of the restrictions and economic crisis affecting every single person.
However, there is longstanding generational and systemic corruption that makes this unity unsustainable, especially given the current economic crisis resulting in folks resorting to short-term deals and gains for personal profit.
To have actual sustainability, leadership and people from across the political, corporate and other spheres need to be ethical and meritocracy oriented.
