The statement added that purchase from those factories was made as on the basis of urgent needs for construction works of the NISS.
A letter was written in the name of the 3rd and 4th defendants, making payments through their personal accounts but purchases were made in the name of the office and the cement was sold in the black market for their personal consumption.
The 2nd defendant also ordered the 3rd and 4th defendants to deliver the letters written by the 1st defendant to Derba and Dangote cement factories, and sell the 29,200 quintals of cement purchased on behalf of the institution.
According to the statement, the defendants were brought before a judge and the charges were read to them before the Federal Higher Court gave an order for the defendants to present their objections on the charges for 16 December, 2022.
In mid-November Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced establishment of a Committee, which he said was tasked to coordinate the government’s campaign against corruption, identify actors in addition to those identified ones in a study, and bring perpetrators to justice.
The newly formed National Anti-Corruption Committee said on 02 December that it has commenced work and announced a major crackdown on corruption and organized theft.

The main corruption in which Abiy Ahmed, through the money laundering enterprise of his wife, the First Lady, is the leading figure, has now been exposed by the media. The head of Financial Intelligence has been thrown in jail for leaking this and other incriminating information on the leadership that has siphoned off an average of $25 billion dollars a year to, mainly, bank accounts in Cypress.
All this rush and orchestrated anti-corruption fanfare is to hide the ruling elite’s plunder of the last five years.
The intensified Wellega massacre and the Addis Ababa mogasssa campaign are all smokescreens created to conceal and disguise this giant corruption scheme.
The Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed is the world’s most corrupt person, no accountability, he thinks he owned the country as his own private property
