Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has revealed that politicians stealing money under the current administrastion, are doing it quietly and not openly because anyone caught will be dealt with.
Amaechi, who disclosed this in a statement, over the weekend said the rate at which money is been looted under the current administration cannot be compared to previous administrations.
He stated that the current administration has judiciously handled the resources of the country better than previous administrations, when people looted billions of taxpayers money and became billionaires overnight.
“I want Nigerians to be honest; can you openly take money in this government? I am not saying whether we are corrupt or not,” he said.
“Let us assume we are corrupt, can you openly take money in this government? In the past governments, what happened? You can take money in the streets. Corruption was so pervasive that nobody was talking about it. It was not hidden that people completely and openly displayed their wealth.
“Most of those who did that had nothing to do to show for it. They did not have a carpentry shop, but they were billionaires. They did not hide it; but here, if you are stealing, it is done quietly. I am not saying it is good, it is a sin punishable. he added.
