Growth rate of MPs\\\' assests

Saturday, 15 February 2014


The media are full of corruption stories. But what is corruption in the context of our homeland? The lawmakers get remuneration and enjoy all facilities as they demand for their own benefit. How can a tax-payer appreciate such behaviour by the lawmakers?
The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) has started investigation on the probable ill-gotten money of some lawmakers. The growth rate of assets of these lawmakers seems to be abnormal as per their affidavits submitted to the  Election Commission.
Quite often the finance minister is heard projecting the growth rate, and this projection sometimes is different from reports of other agencies.
However, the growth rate of assets of all lawmakers during the past five years may be made public so that we know the growth rate of our political generals.
