caught involved in corrupt practice, would serve the maximum 10-year jail term
prescribed by law, however admonishing them to desist from such practices.
“The minimum jail term for corrupt officers is five years,
but I will make sure that any officer found to be corrupt gets the maximum jail
term of 10 years.“This is to serve as a deterrent to any officer who finds
himself in the Customs to make money and not to earn money .“I am not saying
that there are no good, incorruptible officers in the service, but there are
few bad eggs who are giving the service a bad name, ” Ali said.
