The anti-graft warrior had built the luxury villa on a land that had been earmarked for agricultural purposes.

The total cost of construction, it was revealed, was $134,000.

Ky’s official salary has not been revealed; however, public servants in Vietnam typically make less than $500 a month.

Defending his villa, Ky said, “In order to have enough money to construct this villa, I worked part-time as a motorbike taxi driver at night, while I was an official at the provincial inspectorate,” he said.

Vietnamese motorbike taxi drivers, who work in the informal economy, typically earn less than $20 a day.

While Ky has not been charged with a crime, corruption in Vietnam, especially among public servants, is a well-known problem.
