Civil society groups in Sri Lanka have intensified calls for greater transparency within public institutions, arguing that accountability is essential for restoring public confidence. Activists say recent debates on governance have highlighted gaps in access to information and oversight mechanisms.
Several organisations have urged authorities to strengthen existing transparency laws and ensure timely disclosure of public data. They argue that informed citizens are better equipped to engage constructively in democratic processes.
Government representatives acknowledge the importance of transparency but note administrative and capacity challenges. Analysts suggest that digital governance tools could play a key role in improving access and efficiency.
As discussions continue, observers say sustained dialogue between civil society and the state will be critical in shaping long-term governance reforms.
