There are places that encourage corruption. Does it mean that we do not know the people who have stolen public resources? Do we need to be told? Why is it hard to allow lifestyle audit?

Our Constitution is one of those constitutions that are very modern in terms of trying to fight corruption. We have the laws that I have already mentioned here already in place. However, I want to support that another law that specifically talks about lifestyle audit at this level and style---"
