Postscript
Please note the effect of the shocking news item to ETHIOPIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN. PLEASE “THINK” ABOUT IT.
I really feel sorry for this nation. What I am surprised is that corruption, nepotism, racism… are the good reflections (ideocyncracy) of the incumbent givernment. Guys, don’t forget what the PM himself said once regarding corruption. When the thing seems to fire back at him, he instantly hit the break and closed the chapter. I tell you the chapter of the corruption may come to an end now, but it is not the end of the book… By the way, this news reminded me of the recent incident of the procurement of city buses.
Cheers!
I am very surprised to read this news. It reminded me of the directives given by the PM the other day regarding the corruption in this country. They started a sort of campaign on corruption… But they had to stop it when they see it is firing back to them. Corruption is the top deadly enemy of this nation. You go to anywhere here, you will not get any business done smoothly without bribe. Look what they are doing on the benzene. They are selling it out to neighboring countries at a cost of exaggerated money. See what they are doing on the gold… Did you say anything about the recent news of the city buses? Yeah! We all know who are behind this business or the corruption. But that is the ‘No Go Zone!’ God, have mercy on this nation!! By the way, the president of the university whose story we have just read was appointed by the PM. What?
I told you, I told you! What did I tell you about all of these individuals especially the ones are supposed to be well educated and pushing the ethnicity cards. Boy, do they know how to talk and feed on the raw emotions of the gullible! I told you what their ultimate goal is. They main objective is to carve out a territory, call it their ‘republic’ fiefdom and fleece their people alive with the last penny in their pockets. Many of them are already doing that now already. This one could be one of them. He is now saying that the accusations against him are politically motivated. But the evidence presented by the prosecutors is overwhelming. It was the same scheme others were using during the years between 1991 and 2018. They inflate prices on items they purchase goods intended for public use and pocket the difference. They used that to buy expensive real estate and and open fat bank accounts overseas. Most of these smart alecks are openly and discreetly bigots. They are predatory pathogens that have descended upon rather honest and harmonious people. They are reportedly present mainly in Oromia, Amhara and Tigray regions. They should be weeded it out in a court of law.
