Why this humongous amount for an already insured building for god sake? December is around the corner doesn't mean the FG should turn to father Christmas. Why 5.2bn when a fraction of that staggering amount will restore back the UN building to its old self or is it not the same building we all saw on TV after the attack? Please, this figure is provocative, and for the fact that government holds the purse-strings doesn't mean tax payers money should be disburse with reckless abandon just because we want to look good to outside communities. 1 Like |
