He seems to be having more faith in politicians rather than praying to God. Actions speak louder than words.

we have a number of non indigenous institutions living on govt charities/handouts/tax exemptions on some convenient pretexts and several foreign donations all without accountability and whatever the integration provided for in the constitution they are far from being an economic resource if not dipping into our resources Hope the relevant authority will probe these activities as they are operating on valuable govt land free of taxes. These institutions are more a show piece akin to museums and it is now clearly visible those operating them are not conducting their affairs according to the constitutional remit and enjoying a laissez faire existence
