Joe Michael, 10 Sept 08 - One of the unfolded issues in the mysterious government of Ethiopia is how much money the so-called elected leaders are earning. Ever since the TPLF rebel fighters took over the leadership, their earnings have never been disclosed. There has never been a single elected public servant who registered his/her assets prior to taking public office. The former CUD leaders disclosed their assets before the controversial 2005 election in an attempt to be role models of good public servants. Unfortunately, all good things must come from TPLF that CUD leaders were considered as hateful for disclosing their own assets. Until today, the public has been kept in the dark and don’t know how much the TPLF leaders are making and how much assets do they have.
Such objectionable ignorance has been forcing many of us to raise rational questions such as, why do TPLF leaders keep their assets undisclosed? How much money these leaders are earning? etc.
When TPLF controlled the country in 1991, it had nothing much than the weapons it confiscated from the Derg. The Prime Minster, then President, himself stated in 1991 that they took over the country’s leadership with zero capital. Today, TPLF owns a number of businesses; factories, enterprises, etc. Where did the money come from? Billions of dollars have been invested in the party’s name and few individuals are in charge of huge money transaction. Those, who have direct benefit from these investments, including those inside the country and their agents throughout the world, never want to see TPLF questioned because they will be deprived of their benefits.
Elected leaders and appointed officials must file declaration of their assets. By doing so, when ever they decide on the issues of public policy, their personal interests will not cloud their judgment that their decisions will be based solely on what is best for the public as a whole. Thus, it is of paramount importance for TPLF leaders to disclose their personal and business assets. Otherwise, it is difficult to believe that the policy they are making is to the best interest of the country and its people.

Good point,
The policy they are making will never be to benefit the country since they are the business owners.

Those of you who think that TPLF is representing the Ethiopian people, you have the right to ask such a legimate question. In my part, I do not believe that TPLF is representing Ethiopian masses. In Ethiopis there is no the rule of law; thus no body will force them to follow the interest of our people. It is corrupted government. I do not expect TPLF to discolse their assets. We do not have to forget that we are dealing with not only with corrupted government but also with suppressive government. One day, we shall overcome.

Thanks Joe,
Joe you are completely right in all respect and I had to agree with you, with the fact that the TPLF criminal group owns a number of companies, business in Ethiopia and abroad as well, they have now millions of money everywhere that has been continuously stolen from Ethiopia ….
however the basic fact is that as the saying:
GIZE YESETEW KIL DINGAY YISEBERAL
IT is time for the criminal members and supporters of TPLF
….HULU BEGE HULU BEDEGE….
Yes the TPLF criminal group can do any thing in ethiopia and have shown everything to the Ethiopian people that they can kill innocents , they can take money from banks and individuals, they can take all the Ethiopian assets including our treasuries such as lucy that was sold out already.
Yes the TPLF criminal group also can give lands of Ethiopia to the biggest bidder…
Yes the TPLF criminal group can lie as they want too, since there is no punishment for lying in their camp.
But one thing that the TPLF don’t have is THE SUPPORT OF THE ETHIOPIAN PEOEPLE.
And I strongly believe that regardless of their endless lies, and endless steal of money and treasury, and regardless of their endless establishment of their own business, one day….yes one day….yes one day…..yes one day……which I guarantee you soon…..all these things come to end since they don’t have a support of the Ethiopian people…
Yes that day when the Ethiopian people wakes up again as they did back for the support of kinijit in 2005….that is going to be the end of the TPLF era….that day all these things goes back to the Ethiopian people…..
Yes …..ENEN AYARGENE YANE…….as the saying AYNEGA MESLEWAT BE KWAT ARACHE……
We all see where the HODAM TPLF members and supporters could hide…..ENATU HODE AYGEBA….
TIWAL TIDER ENGI AHEYA YIGIB NAT…….
The TPLF criminal group can kill millions of Ethiopians but cannot destroy all the Ethiopians ……so…..that day ….the dooms day…..will come….and god will show us that day…..
Death to weyane members and supporters…………

How would one expect from the tplf kleptomaniacs such ethics? Ferenjes have mostly a hard time of understanding Ethiopian politics.

Please do not again ever try to play our mind in this stinky thinking of “asset disclosure of TPLF-Woyannie Officials” when you and I know their assets in gold and in-hard-foreign currency have stored up in many banks around the world including in Western banks. It must be clear to all of us that one that banks in concert with woyannie government officials in hiding stolen properties which are sole properties of the Ethiopian people are responsible for their acts of conspiracy. There are legal agents in the world today- especially organized by governments after 9/11- that would track down the trail of transferable money and disclose every other details; I suggest to form a de facto commission task force(like the border commission) in the diasporaic Ethiopian community to handle full-fledge charge of researching and studying these illegal assets of Ethiopia and the like everywhere in the globe.

yeah right, if Ethiopian leaders disclose their assets, lions will start eating grass.
These are vicious corrupt people. They are jamming the dollar in foreign banks.
All the aid money is diverted to woyane bank accounts. fucking criminals.
