I was so elated that for this year, I have yet to recieve a calender. When I called my friends in the business circle, I was told that owing to the economic downturn, it is a rarity to find a calender.
When I opened the pages, I realised that it was not only a calender but it also included photographs of all the MPs in the GRC. Every month has its flavour ie. an MP and it is repeated over and over again. How mundane !
My conclusion is that it is just another PAPlee propaganda with the objective of prolonging the regime and to use it in preparation for any sudden snap election.
Another question: As the Town councils are losing money in investments that have collapsed, why is the Town Council spending so much money on printing calenders? Going back to the last election, there were about 150.000 households. which means that the same number is printed, or even more.(complements to other fellow comrades)
If they are not using the Town Council's money, I supposed all the 5 MPS made their contributions. They must really be filled in their coffers. Why not use it for the needy, the poor etc. especially at a time when the citizens are trying to recoup and even to the extend of begging for food to fill their stomach.
