    Funny how you mentioed the condom as wrong(which it is) but you getting a ride (also wrong) was not a problem

    People tend to take advantage of situations when their party is in power(both sides). Whoever is responsible and are involved in whatever way to carry that BIG scam, needs to be held accountable. S public inquiry and nothing less is needed. The minister, the PS and all who are involved sho be put on unpaid leave, pronto. 15 million dollars is a lot of money and that should not be taken lightly. The ball is Gaston’s court.

    Here we go again with poor accountability. Every vehicle should be logged and tracked how hard can it be to manage government assets properly?
