He also continued to own shares in a company, National Talents, and approved its projects while he was in government service, receiving personal benefits from companies that work with the commission. Two partners in the company have been arrested in connection to the case. The commission has vowed to continue to monitor and regulate those who use public funds for personal benefit.
