Do Not Worship The File
The “400 files” language has power because people want proof that someone is finally opening the drawers. Good. Open them. But do not worship the file. A file is not justice. A press conference is not justice. A leak is not justice. A threat is not justice. A slogan about thieves is not justice. Justice is evidence, procedure, court, conviction, recovery, reform and prevention. Justice is not merely dragging an old villain onto the stage so the new crowd can clap. Sri Lanka has seen too much theatre already. If corruption cases are real, make them clean enough to survive court. If appointments are wrong, correct them fast. If a minister fails, remove him without drama. If a policy hurts people, admit it before the damage becomes permanent. The country does not need revenge cosplay. It needs public power that can count, confess, correct and continue.
