April,that’s when ba veep wants to tour the flood affected areas,iliko trick,better say he goes for a 3 day official visit to the province,after all is going to hold a public rally.
vima news va so viliko boring and just make one feel that pa zed nothing is taken seriously.pipo were displaced from their homes and at that time needed a hand from the central gov’t ,and here we are,so many week past that’s when ba veep want to tour the areas,for what if i may ask?.it’s better simply get reports from the local authorities instead of wasting money in the middle of the credit fimofimo.
Kunda has already been to Western province were he described the flood situation as catastrophic. 80% of the crop fields both rice and maize have been flooded.

The veep is going there to address the rally, dont be cheated! the issue of the floods is just a scepegoat!
#3 meant scapegoat! sorry!
