‘People
should come on to the street and demand to end corruption
rather demand for jobs. If we have a country without corruption
people can enjoy more job opportunities’ was the advice
from the National Integrity Awards 2007 winner S.K. Liyanage.
This award was presented to him in recognition of his efforts
in fighting corruption for more than 33 years as a civil servant.
He received the award from Dr.Kiran Bedi, first woman police
officer in India who went on to become Inspector General of
Prisons. Here Liyanage, with his award, addresses the gathering
at the awards ceremony. Liyanage is watched by his wife andchief
guest Bedi. See full story on The Achievers tabloid Page 13.
