More benefits to the politicians

Bet some politicians would have benefited enormously in hidden commissions, then again it is the part of the game, that is why they become politicians, not to serve the public, MARA and his gang are the losers here.

MARA is silent now because he and his gang got their due share

Government will increase their SALARIES, and give LUXURY VEHICLE PERMITS to import.

Fantastic. Let the port develop on its own and focus on other areas for development... As a country, we need to put these white elephants to earn some money for us to pay the debt the bloody king family has borrowed from the rest of the world.
