HH is dull and cannot be a president. He is unelectable. He is also unlikeable. He is also a privatization thief. He is also a money launderer. He also has Three mansions. He is also corrupt buying land from his tribal chiefs paying them change. He is a regional president of a tribal organization.
If the president travels for the sake of marketing our nation you complains, if he decides to keep it cool and serves our national treasury again you complains then what are we up. Please my president alone and let him execute his duties as mandated by law. Mind you he has to do it until 2021 weather you like it or not. Kumuntu Tawana kutasha. VIVA ECL and shame your critics by doing what you know best by developing the entire 10 provinces.
Government likes to be seen.
