Corrupt government officials have continued to be punished according to our existing laws, but this has not served as a deterrent because over time, more government officials have been caught indulging in heinous acts while in office. I therefore suggest that our laws in that regard be reviewed to include harsh sentences as obtained in other climes. If a government official, for instance, knows that the Chinese treatment of death or life imprisonme­nt awaits him or her if public funds are plundered, that will go a long way in restoring probity and accountabi­lity in government circles.
