  1. For as long as the ruling party/president continue(s) to have appointing power, they will always overtly or close to overtly campaign for you. It is simple logic. The conflict of interest that your government continues to pretend to be blind to is a huge part of why we remain so blatantly corrupt. Think it through madam. Act to further the plight of country for once.

  2. All you old people in government need to step down in retirement n allow the young ones to take over, you’ve done your part enjoy retirement with your families as we all know life is too short to working throughput
