Such a shame.... The man who led the victory is in jail, and politicians are selfishly celebrating this for their political future. People are fooled.

These ppl are insane, what a pathetic move! it should be celebrated but not troubling the daily life of general public. Please utilize this funds to the well being of the poor community.
