    Its because everyone in government is so corrupted that they can get away with it. The news media might report on it but nothing really happens. After a few days, it's back to business as usual.

    What we need is something like what China does. The convicted government official will be taken from the courtroom and executed behind the courthouse. Prime example to warn the rest that they would follow if they become corrupted.

    Playing devils advocate, I was quoting airplanes with 200 seat capacity. What the government is looking for is a smaller, probably a 50 seat capacity plane which would also be much cheaper than the planes I found on the web.

    Do also note that the planes I found were complete "units" meaning the interior can be sold to cover the cost of refitting the interior for 50 people. Frankly, you don't need an Airbus A320 to carry the president of a banana republic. P1.2B can do a lot of good if used elsewhere.
