Not ready to govern with corrupt individuals - President

President Maithripala Sirisena says that he is not prepared to govern the country with corrupt individuals. 

The President made these comments while addressing the final election rally of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) in Polonnaruwa today (7). 

The President emphasized that he is not ready to work with the corrupted politicians and further said that he will be committed to build the country while creating a clean political movement as he never allowed room for fraud, corruption and bribery in his political journey.  

The President, with regret, recalled the criticisms made by the former President about the development process of the district, when he visited Polonnaruwa recently, and said that at present the process to make new transformations in the development activities of the villages as well as in the towns have been implemented broadly.    

‘Today, the people rally around to build a clean political movement with that change’, he said while extending an invitation to the former President as well as to all who leveled criticisms to experience that change by visiting each village and town.
