ANOTHER WASTE OF OUR MONEY! WE, THE PUBLIC, WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, AFTERWARDS!

Why are we being 'taken for a ride' by the politicians of this country? Are our people still 'blind', not to see what's happening?

It is correct move Mr. President. You need political stability in parliament too. Now you have over 100 ministers wasting time and money. Please get rid of all these thieves and select new energetic young personnel to run development program.
