Recent months have seen a wave of corruption related arrests. Two former ministers of communications were arrested for approving the purchase of a private television provider for over four times its value, costing the state a loss of around $307 million. Several months prior, two police vice ministers, a minister of transportation, and a former head of the state petroleum corporation were all charged for similar crimes. Pray for ongoing exposure of this kind of high-level corruption. Pray that God will raise up righteous people in this land (The Bible, Psalm 33:5).
