Dear Editor,
I wish to voice my support of the President’s move to have the Customs Department investigated. But someone needs to ensure that definitive action is taken, and in the shortest possible time, to prevent the guilty parties from escaping the full force of the law. There have been numerous instances where the passing of time has allowed corrupt people to walk free.
I frequent the Customs Department and I am aware that very junior officers who earn no more than $50,000.00 per month already own two cars and a home. Senior officers boast of several vehicles, several homes and several foreign bank accounts. And there are business people out there who make tons of money greasing the palms of Customs officials.
