Transparency
Sunlight drive out the rats
Corruption happens in the dark. Sunlight drives out the rats. The most important law of the LAMP Manifesto is to reveal the truth to the people.

Publish all government controlled information such as contracts, agreements, documents, invoices, payments, ledgers, and bank statements.

Publish online, everyday, everything.

The rich and powerful will say it's not in the national interest. They will say it helps terrorists. They will say it's not fair to release information about companies. They will say competitors will gain an unfair advantage. They will appeal to national security concerns. They will say foreign companies will not do business with Sri Lanka. They will say it's never been done and cannot be done. That's how the powerful make you frightened so you dare not change the system. Remember, they are the ones who bankrupted Mother Lanka. They are the ones who stole your children's future. We must change our destiny, we must be brave and do what has never been done.

Transparency is the weapon of the people that holds politicians accountable. The crazy levels of corruption that bankrupted Mother Lanka will be gone and our money will be spent on helping the poor, the sick, and the old.

No country has ever made all information freely available because it's the rich, the greedy, and the corrupt who make the rules. Sri Lanka must be the first nation to break the grip of the rich
