SELF-GAIN PENCHANT DESTROYING ESWATINI

Sir,

It is very disheartening to note that emaSwati are continuously being taken for the worst fools by politicians. Who can explain and tell us the truth about the E2.1 billion we have just lost? The blatant corruption happening in the country is now unprecedented the whole world over. This forces me to question the political integrity of our politicians. Do they know what politics is?

Responsible

As people (senior citizens) who have led the country we expect them to be responsible and exemplary. They must remember that you can fool some of the people some of the time, you can even fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Their penchant for self-gain and power has been brought to the fore; and their requesting of bribes allegations in the multi-billion investment we have just lost needs to be investigated. This has reminded me of the biblical adage where Isaac came back from hunting and asked for food from Jacob who told him to forfeit his birthright before he could give him food.

Investment

This matter is serious and it should not be allowed to continue. Heads must roll because this huge investment would have been of great benefit to the entire nation. Do they even realise the damage they have done? The healthcare system is failing the nation and this investment would have come in handy. It would have also assisted in the education sector and elderly grants would have been vastly improved.

Salaries

We are all working for this country to make it a better one for future generations. We are paying their salaries so they must consider us in all the decisions they make in Parliament. It is a natural law that we all learn from the ant; that we make hay while the sun shines let alone people like us who made our own hay while the sun shone and ‘one eyed’ people among the blind are out to make themselves and their friends rich to the detriment of the whole nation. Enough is enough people; please put emaSwati first in all that you do.
