Indeed its a pleasure to see these new discoveries of the government. They should do the same with the ministers of the present and the past BUT not the houses their banking transactions and illicit money laundering. Furthermore, the custom officers of different ranks who have built enormous wealth either under their names or their loved ones being family and extended.
