Is this the way to act against corruption?

I listened to the talk by the President on TV last Sunday when he addressed the foreign correspondents at his official residence.

He categorically said that he firmly stands against corruption and will take every possible action to eradicate this menace.

If he is honest about this I am curious as to why Johnston Fernando and Wimal Weerawansa, who had to be sum- moned before Courts on charges of corruption, were re-sworn before him as Ministers, and assigned the same portfolios under which they were charged for corruption during the Rajapaksa Government. Rather than curbing corruption it would appear he is promoting corruption.
