As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, Government spending in this country is almost 70 per cent of the money that circulates in the economy. If it is only among a few people, we will not go anywhere. In as much as I have heard my colleagues talk about selecting politicians, we are as guilty as charged. I dare say that all Members of Parliament control ... view
