are being helplessly squandered. You saw the money being forked out by the
government, the two percent tax that you have been made to pay for every

funds.

that forex from. We once told them that bond note is not money, give us real
money. If we were in power like now, it could have been a walk in the park. Each
one of you would practically be enjoying their money because an economy like
