Some 82lbs (37kg) of gold and 120 million yuan ($19.5 million) in cash has been discovered in the home of a Chinese Communist Party official. The discovery has been termed “shocking” by China’s state news agency.

The official, Ma Chaoqun, used to manage the Beidaihe Water Supply Corporation, which had nearly 200 employees, according to an anonymous government source who spoke to China Daily.

“The amount of money involved in these cases is huge and it happened among the people,” Xinhua said. “The social influence is bad and the masses have reacted strongly.”

Ma has been accused of bribery, embezzlement, and misappropriation of public funds by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in Hebei, according to the Beijing News.

The investigation into his private matters affairs was launched in February, and he was officially fired on February 18.

However, Ma’s case is taking place in the midst of a mass crackdown on corruption in the ranks of Chinese officials, with Chinese President Xi Jinping targeting “tigers” – high ranking corrupt officials – and “flies” alike.

In another stash-of-cash case, prosecutors announced last month that around 200 million yuan had been found hoarded at the home of Wei Pengyuan, a former National Energy Administration official.

I wonder what they will find in the homes and bank accounts of our honorable ministers and head of civil service.

Rest in Peace

Lol. He's a goner indeed. He'll likely kill himself

.....And in this part of the world ...a mere $19 Million should not be termed embezzlement but just STEALING...


Ask our Present Leaders






*****For anyone to fully appreciate the MASSIVE DIVIDENDS of any Government that hates/fight corruption...you need to experience the Chinese lifestyle...

no money to throw about individually but everybody is almost SURE of tomorrow so the need to steal is non existent.... You can't help but feel it even if you are visiting for the first time...

(Individuals may be corrupt or want to "steal" but because of the clear anti-corruption stance of the Presidency and the WORKING constitution, you have no option than to fall in line)

The System is working and why can't such system work here in Nigeria as well? *****
