meaning

I read the Declaration of Compliance of my company and it has a parapharase below:

The undersigned has made truthful declarations to [Company X] regarding:

  • His/her current or prior role as a Government Official; and/or
  • His/her relationship to any Government Official or to any ex-Government Official.

I don't understand "ex-Government Official" meaning so I looked up and searched "ex-goverment offical" word on many dictionary and resources but I can't find out any information.

Please help me ! What's the ""ex-Government Official" meaning?


In this context, the prefix ex- means former. Wiktionary has this definition:

former, but still living (almost always used with a hyphen)
ex-husband, ex-president, ex-wife

So an ex-government official is someone who was previously a government official.
