reaffirmed his administration’s purpose to persecute all corrupt political officers.
He said his government is working diligently in building up cases against those that have been accused of stealing government money.

Under military rule, people could be arrested and held on the basis of suspicion, but in a true democracy, anyone accused of an offense must be presumed innocent till pronounced guilty by a court of law.
