Ostentious display of wealth prohibited among govt officials prohibited RA 6713

It is more fun criticizing

Its scandalous that the children and wives of politicians are being bashed at soc media because they say, the sins of parents are not the sins of children.  But there are laws that prohibit such display of profligacy:   RA 6713:   


     Section 4h:    h) Simple living. - Public officials and employees and their families shall lead modest lives appropriate to their positions and income. They shall not indulge in extravagant or ostentatious display of wealth in any form.


Take note nepo babies and DPWH contractors too.  Maybe the law declared it so because it hurts.  Its like rubbing salt into an open wound.   It must include also government contractors and suppliers?
