Their are so many corruption currently going on in this administration, I hope the president would have the will and courage to prosecute them at least as a face saving otherwise this administration would be worst in corruption history

As we didn't scream enough. 'HOW CAN YOU FEED PUPILS WHO WERE IN LOCKDOWN AND IN THEIR PARENTS HOME?'

They it's in one personal account, is it missing again? Go there and retrieve the money, jail the offender! That's all, why longing matter

Change begin with us now.
