Disgusted with Government ministers’ obsession for cameras

DEAREDITOR,

It is a trend I have been observingsincetheelections were held in March 2020. While it was necessary to broadcast every step of the coalitionriggingattemptand rightly so, the government ministers are now nauseating.

Please don’t get me wrong, there is tremendous value to share and broadcast government work and initiatives.Mygrindisevery time you log on to social media,therearehundredsof pictures with ministers from cradle to adulthood. For every occasion, they must show you every step of the attire and their enjoyment at events. Everywhere they go isanentourageandhundreds of pictures plastered on social media with the Minister pointing his/her fingeroraddressingagroup. These ministers were electedtoserve.Theyarenot doingthisascharity,theyare heartily rewarded with taxpayers’ money They seem to be competing for approval on what they are doing or for likes in their activities.Peoplewanttosee them but more importantly,

DEAREDITOR,

The most recent Oxfam study found that the income gapbetweentherichandthe poorisincreasing.

The richest 1% grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new wealth created since 2020 amounting to some 42 trillion US dollars, almost twicetheamountofthe99% at the bottom of the economicladder

Something must be fundamentally wrong when people need policies and improvement in the lives of whichtheyelectedtodeliver, not posing and dining at events.

Ihopetheycanreflecton what they post on social media because it may come backtohauntthem.
