The Api Wenuwen Api Fund established in 2008 was meant to support the families of fallen and disabled armed forces members through housing loans and aid - but most of the aid went elsewhere. 🤔

Yet, an official performance evaluation report of the Fund by the National Audit Office reveals the troubling truth: priority beneficiaries ignored, missing records, and billions spent without proper oversight that left the most vulnerable behind.😥

It's time for transparency, accountability, and justice. ⚖️

Curious about the amount of IMF Funding released so far? Let's do the math!🔢

◀️Throwback to March 2023, when Sri Lanka’s IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF) began with the aim to restore macroeconomic stability after the 2022 Economic crisis. The program spans 48 months with a total commitment of USD 3 billion in funds, supporting key reforms in fiscal policy, governance, and debt restructuring.

⏩Flashforward to July 2025, we have received USD 1.74 billion in total, which comes up to 58% of the total funding. The most recent disbursement (approx. USD 350 million) was approved after the 4th review of the program.

Are you as confused as we were with all the allegations against Keheliya Rambukwella and his family? We finally (we think?) managed to make this make sense.

👉 Between 2020 and 2025; 49 suspects died in police custody and 30 deaths occurred during arrests - shocking numbers exposing a grim reality! According to the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL), such deaths raise serious concerns about compliance with constitutional protections and basic legal safeguards.

The Sri Lankan Constitution guarantees:
➡️ The presumption of innocence (Article 13(5))
➡️ Protection against torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment (Article 11)
➡️ The right to be arrested and detained only in accordance with procedure established by law (Article 13(1))
being held in custody pending trial is not a form of punishment — no one may be punished without conviction by a competent court (Article 13(4))

In response to repeated violations, the HRCSL recently released General Guidelines No. 01 of 2025 to prevent custodial deaths and mistreatment. These include:

🔴 Arrests must be based on reasonable suspicion and follow lawful procedures
🔴 Detainees must have access to legal counsel and medical care without delay
🔴 Arrests, detentions, and transfers must be documented and transparent
🔴 The use of force, coercion, or intimidation during or after arrest is strictly prohibited
🔴 Any custodial death must trigger immediate independent investigation and be reported to the HRCSL

Protecting the rights of detainees is not optional — it’s a constitutional duty. Upholding due process protects both human dignity and the rule of law.

So why does the institution meant to uphold the law continue to be one of the deadliest places for those yet to be proven guilty?

🚨 Sri Lanka made a data reporting error with the IMF — but quickly owned up and moved forward with rectifications! 🇱🇰💼

The mistake wasn’t intentional — it happened because some ministries reported late, and officials misunderstood what the IMF considers “arrears.” Once discovered, Sri Lanka took immediate action✅ The IMF recognized the error as unintentional and issued a waiver — meaning no penalties or repayment will be required. 🙌

🚨 Nishantha Wickramasinghe Arrested: The Fall of a Politically-Protected Airline Chief? 🚨

Nishantha Wickramasinghe, the former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines and Mihin Air, was arrested on June 27, 2025, by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC). His name has long symbolized the fusion of political power and public sector mismanagement—largely due to his close ties to the Rajapaksa family, particularly as the brother of former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa.

CIABOC’s case against him centers around three critical incidents from 2014 each pointing to the abuse of public resources. These charges aren’t isolated slip-ups—they reflect a broader culture of politicized misuse of national resources. A 2015 government-commissioned report had already flagged his questionable role—along with then-CEO Kapila Chandrasena—in aircraft procurements, poor financial decisions, and mounting operational losses that led SriLankan Airlines toward near-collapse.

Wickramasinghe’s arrest comes as part of a renewed push for accountability in Sri Lanka’s State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs)—many of which were long insulated from scrutiny due to political protection. Now released on cash bail, the legal proceedings against him are expected to begin again by October 14th 2025, as investigators dig deeper into corruption-linked issues during his tenure.

This case is being watched closely as a litmus test for Sri Lanka’s commitment to rooting out entrenched corruption and rebuilding public trust in state institutions.

🚚 Did your latest AliExpress order come with surprise fees or delays at Customs? You're not the only one feeling the pinch.

👉 Swipe to uncover what exactly this revised import procedure is, what’s really driving up the costs and multi stakeholder views on the move.

📦Overall, many are calling for a balanced solution ensuring fairness - one that protects local producers, without shutting out affordable international shopping for end users.

💡Latest update: On 14th July 2025, the Cabinet approved President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's proposal to form a Committee that will resolve Customs delays for online imports through short-term fixes and a long-term regulatory plan.

Sri Lanka just got access to Starlink internet, bringing faster internet connections all around the country (though there are some reported delays in delivery due to clearance issues)🛰️

But Temu and AliExpress parcels now face full import taxes - no more loopholes / concessions even if they’re low-priced goods.🚢

And from October 1st 2025, Netflix, YouTube, and a host of other digital platforms (like cloud and SaaS, gaming, hotel reservation etc.) will be hit with an 18% VAT, making subscriptions more expensive for us.📺

Big promises But are we powering forward — or stuck in the dark? ⚡

🏛️,The government responded to major donor concerns on electricity reforms, but many key issues still remain unresolved. 💸 From unclear ownership rules to questions about who controls tariffs , doubts are far from over.

Until real clarity comes, the wires of trust remain tangled.🔌
