A party insider says its own former money man needs to come home and explain himself. An associate of a civic group urged the ruling party to help bring back the ex-finance minister facing dozens of corruption charges. The official left the country, citing medical care, and was later detained abroad over his immigration status. The activist argued the party's credibility depends on supporting accountability for past stewards.

He questioned why someone with deep local family ties and pending legal issues remains outside. Managing public finances comes with a basic responsibility to answer for that stewardship, he stated. Dismissing claims of political persecution, he noted innocent people should not evade scrutiny. The party must publicly call for his return to face the allegations, he insisted.

The activist warned that how former officials act shapes how young people view public service. Demonstrating a commitment to transparency is critical, regardless of the individual involved. He framed this as necessary for the party's own integrity and public trust. The situation presents a direct test of the ruling party's principles on accountability.
