President Anura Kumara Disanayake approved the establishment of dedicated anti-corruption investigation units within Provincial Councils and local Government (LG) institutions. 

The decision, which aims to combat corruption and administrative inefficiencies, follows a request made during a high-level discussion held at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday (15). 

Accordingly, these units will be tasked with monitoring financial transactions, investigating irregularities and enforcing transparency in development projects.
