You have wrong priorities
@muntususu063328;
You are wrong these are personal benefits wait and see masoja anofamba arimu open trucks why not buying buses for them.
@farrybee7;
How about ambulances?
Cancer machines?
Medication in hospital
Why prioritizing leisure at the expense of life
@ChihwaMAS;
When will hospitals get attention?
@MbizoStanf5332;
This is wasteful expenditure. Memers of the defense forces only need tanks, amoured personal carriers, guns, fighter jets etc. That is equipment that make them execute their work very well.

All he does now is commission cars and handover USD cash then begs for drought aid from the EU and USA and we wonder why nobody takes Africa seriously.
