Jabou, this is the same line of reasoning that some businessman in the
Gambia uttered in defense of Yaya's Jet.  These people are sick and very
ignorant.  How can you take $45 million and lavish it on a jet when 250,000
of your people are at the brink of starvation.  They have no shame that the
people they are going to beg from see them as idiots.  That is what the
donor countries see when they see these clowns.  However, these same donors
know that if these clowns are silly to do this to their people, then they
can easily be duped and get whatever they want from them dirt cheap.  A fool
and their resources are easily parted.

Kudos to the parliament for trying to put a stop to this madness, something
we cannot say of our very own.  This in one of those moments that the
citizens of Swaziland should run these criminals to the bush.  These
dictators get away with their greed and stupidity because the people allow
them.  If the people want to put a stop to this they will, and it is just a
matter of time before someone is lynched.  In this life, we the people are
the only constant.  No matter how long they cheat, steal, and abuse us, we
will even out the score and then some in the end.  You see none among us
thought that Jawara will be in the position he is today.  We used to say
that he has means and is protected by the elements, the same they say of
Yaya today.  Time is on our side.
