What is the point in changing pillows for headache ? Real change must be made from the topic. Already enough public money has been looted . Bring back them all to the treasury then we could say some real changes are taking place . People know all this eye wash . People are not fool

Why not scrap the presidency as well as it's a burden to the public and the prime ministry as it's a white elephant.

Two years done by no ministry is functioning well as you expected, let’s scrap all and run only with retired Generals. If that doesn’t work will reverse the gazette.
