The Bribery Commission which is investigating 400 complaints received against politicians and government officials said they had gathered assets through various malpractices or through links with the underworld.

A top officer of the Bribery Commission said there were 32 politicians among them. He said the government officials can own assets and properties but they are bound by law to reveal the sources of income or assets. He also said such officials should send reports annually to their chiefs about the assets they possessed. (Sujith Hewajulige)

Why not reveal their names? Let there be transparency and accountability in the name of 'good governance'

Not only politicos, Ministry Secretaries, District Secretaries and Chief Secretaries make good income and assets far beyond their annual salary as well as their spouses and children's accounts and assets.

Without guessing and wasting time, please reveal names possibly helps the public to refrain from voting these mafia group in parliament as the first step. Guys this is just one officer revealing 32 politicians how about the rest imagine we will have no politicians to contest the parliamentary election.
