What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

I am a citizen of Sri Lanka. The country is now in turmoil. I am of those sufferers. This turmoil, in my view is due to the non-existence of a true democratic system in the country. The existing system, said to be democratic, has been manipulated by shrewd politicians to the path of dictatorship for their personal benefits. Corruption is rampant. Peace has evaporated and no signs of ending the turmoil.

So it is my humble opinion that the citizens must step-in with a view to arrest corruption and put-in place a truly democratic system of governance that would not allow corruption to creep-in so that there would be sustainable peace, prosperity and a pleasant living for ALL the people in the country.

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)

Well I am an insignificant individual in the country of Sri Lanka, who has worked as a Civil Draughtsman in the government service and retired.

After retirement, I am engaged in promoting a unique and novel idea for an Alternative System of Truly Democratic Governance.
