Everything is wrong with our country, the way pensions are paid is simply due to our foolishness. Why can’t we copy progressive program from advanced countries where pensions are paid directly into your bank account? All we know is senseless show off , and pretending to be giant of Africa.

Can the NUP chairman face the dead man‘s children and tell them the reason why his name was removed from the lists of the pensioners and then go ahead to tell them how pathetic their fathers death was?
You need to see how these old men will be made to stand for hours unend sometimes before they are paid their pension. That alone is another pathetic experience.
I take to my strolling…
