Tigrai Online May 11, 2013
Minister Melaku Fenta director of the Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (Gumruk)is one of 16 people under arrest suspected of corruption.The Ethiopian federal Anti Corruption Commission and the national security agency arrested 16 people including Minister Melaku Fenta director of the Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (Gumruk) and his deputy Mr. Gebrewahid Woldegiorgis.
We are expecting more details from the government about this high profile arrest. The names of the rest of the people who were arrested is not disclosed.
We think if the corrupted government officials are weeded out most people will think twice before they involve themselves in the dirty business of corruption. If there is no taker there will not be giver. We applaud the Ethiopian federal Anti Corruption Commission for showing some guts. No one should be immune from facing justice if they are corrupted.
