I agree that SL shouldn't try to make leaps before it can take small positive steps forward (about the grand scheme of things) and I'm not forgetting SL is a developing (3rd world if you like) country. That said, I wouldn't say the government is doing 'good'. It's not that the government isn't doing any good at all, but there's so much room for improvement, even considering there is a war going on. Anyway, I don't want to get into a big discussion here (as it's not a platform that is conducive to launching a proper discussion/debate) but I definitely don't think power should be used as an excuse for the existence of coruption. It's not like power automatically brings corruption. There are other elements at work besides just the presence of power.
