Not-so-hidden wealth

This week’s property leaks are not the first of their kind. In my view, the information disclosed in these and past leaks reveals the reason behind the country’s chronically weak financial position. Those who can turn things around by making reforms instead seemingly prefer to send their money abroad and leave the country’s challenges unaddressed.

When we see the lifestyle of our state officials we can deduce that many of them are living beyond their declared sources of income and no one is ready to think about the money trail of such people. We need to ensure a fair system and to minimize corruption from top to bottom. Constantly taking loans will not work for too long.
