This week, unpleasant news came from the Ministry of Finance. Reportedly, two Director Generals in important sectors will be replaced, one of whom is the Director General of Customs and Excise (DJBC). This replacement is actually normal, what makes it unusual is that the new official is reportedly an active military soldier. While military soldiers can indeed occupy civilian positions without resigning from their duties, this does not apply to positions in the Ministry of Finance. Until now, however, there has been no explanation from the relevant parties, so the public is left hanging. This situation reminds us of various corruption cases involving DJBC officials that have been revealed in recent years, the most recent of which was just found guilty in February 2025. If the current news is true, then whoever is given the task has a very difficult homework assignment. To subscribe please click here
