That is a lie based on the information you provided yesterday. Secondly am sure you are using the lateral test method which suggests the 2,5% increase is within the error margin of the test method. Instead of concentrating on misinformation you should distribute more masks and maybe close the markets and those dirty unroadworthy buses!
This moron Kennedy Malama is being used by politicians
Ka Tarino behave yourself
