Accountability and corruption haunts tsunami anniversary

Business Times

This girl, whose family lost their home in the Boxing Day tsunami, does her homework in what is now a shell of their ‘new’ home at Sirikanduruwatte near Galle. Like many others the family got a new house which subsequently collapsed due to bad construction. As Sri Lanka marks the 5th annniversary of the devastating tsunami next week, corruption and accountability issues continue to plague the post-tsunami recovery effort. Pic by M.A. Pushpakumara
