I don't know about Namal, Harsha or Archuna. But they certainly didn't tell their woes to the public before elections like these JVPers. That's why they've become the laughing stock. Can't you remember the image they gave of themselves to the public?
If opposition members too have hidden their assets why isn't that discussed like this?

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has instructed officials to revise the proposed amendments to Sri Lanka’s Anti-Corruption Act to ensure that the asset declarations of politicians continue to be made public, a senior government official confirmed to NewsWire.
The move follows concerns raised over a draft amendment published in the Gazette on July 24, 2026, which proposed changes to the asset declaration framework under the Anti-Corruption Act, No. 9 of 2023.
According to the senior official, the proposed amendment was initially formulated after considering that nearly 160,000 asset declarations are expected to be submitted under the law. Concerns had also been raised by several private sector professionals serving on government boards, who argued that mandatory public disclosure of their declarations could infringe on their privacy.
The amendment was therefore intended to address those concerns.
However, following discussions, President Dissanayake has instructed officials to revise the proposal so that while privacy concerns of non-political individuals are addressed, the asset declarations of all elected representatives and politicians will continue to be publicly accessible.
The official said the changes would preserve the public’s right to scrutinise the assets and liabilities of public representatives, while introducing a different framework for other categories required to submit declarations under the law.
The revised amendment is expected to be presented following the President’s instructions. (Newswire)
TL;DR The final revised bill text has not yet been published, so the exact legal wording on public access for non-politicians remains to be confirmed when it is presented to Parliament. (grok)@topkollek කවුද මේ කියන senior official?

Public access to asset declarations of non-politicians (senior civil servants, non-elected public officials, board members, and others required to declare) varies widely and is generally more restricted than for elected politicians.
Sri Lanka’s current law (Anti-Corruption Act No. 9 of 2023) is relatively broad: redacted versions of every declaration are automatically made publicly accessible on the CIABOC website. The proposed amendments (as revised) aim to differentiate—keeping public access for politicians/elected representatives while restricting it (“privacy of others will be restricted”) for non-political declarants. This moves Sri Lanka toward a common international pattern of tiered access.
International Patterns (from World Bank, OECD, and comparative studies)
World Bank analyses of income and asset disclosure (IAD) systems across dozens of countries show:
Examples of tiered or restricted approaches include Hong Kong SAR (China), Mongolia, and Kyrgyzstan.
- Public access is more frequent and comprehensive for high-level elected officials (heads of state ~63%, ministers ~56%, MPs ~51% of systems).
- Declarations of civil servants/non-elected officials are often protected by privacy rules or available only on restricted terms, especially for mid- or lower-level staff. Reasons include lower policy influence, security concerns, and privacy rights.
- Roughly 50–65% of countries with disclosure systems allow some public access to declaration content by law (higher in upper-middle- and high-income countries; much lower in low-income ones). Many use tiered models: full/public for senior/elected roles; confidential or limited for others.

Key Takeaways
International guidance (World Bank/OECD) stresses that public access enhances effectiveness when balanced carefully, and many effective systems prioritise verification by authorities over universal online publication for every filer. The final details of Sri Lanka’s revised bill will determine exactly how restrictive the “different framework” for non-politicians becomes.
- Differentiated access is common and often recommended as a balance between transparency (for high-risk/elected roles) and privacy/security (for career civil servants or lower-risk positions). Full public access for all declarants is less frequent than selective access.
- Systems that publish for non-politicians usually limit it to senior ranks, redact heavily, or make it available only on request.
- Restricting public access for non-politicians (as Sri Lanka proposes) aligns with practices in the US, UK, parts of Europe, and India, where privacy considerations for non-elected officials weigh more heavily.
- Broader public access (Sri Lanka’s current model) is stronger for accountability and civil-society scrutiny but raises the privacy and administrative concerns that prompted the proposed changes (large volume of ~160,000 declarants, including private-sector professionals).
