Message to mark 10 years in office:

Country free from corruption - President

President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga said that her Government was able to free the country from corruption and state sponsored terrorism and she considers that as a major achievement during her past 10 year tenure.

In a special message to mark 10 years in office via state television yesterday, President Kumaratunga said her government steered the country towards development, free from corruption and malpractice cleansing the whole political system from top to bottom.

She said among other achievements of her Government were restoring its tarnished image, initiating a peace process with Norwegian facilitation and thus, expanding foreign investment sector, particularly ensuring that the rural masses enjoyed its dividends.

"Despite a very costly war we were able to bring down unemployment by half, reduce inflation, minimise budget deficit, reduce loan interest rates and continue with the development projects to strengthen the economy by introducing sound state management policies," she said.
