"content": "I also want to say that we need to use our money prudently. Last year, during the Budget, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance ordered all public officers to return vehicles which had a cc of 2.4 litres and above. The people demonized the Mercedes Benz. Soon after that, I went with the President to Arusha. One of the Passats remained there. The one which was just recently allocated to me by Bunge stopped right in the middle of the road in front of the GPO. Mr. Lesrima was telling me that his has also just stopped a year later after we spent taxpayersâ money. We said that those vehicles cannot do the work that politicians and civil servants do. We chose to go cheap and said that we were saving money. We saved nothing and we are not offering the public any apology. Why do we buy rejects which all of them--- Everybody is saying that the transmission in most of the cars has failed and we do not want to apologize. I think that is not fair and it does not look like good and prudent usage of public funds."
