No amount of cheating or corrupt practices by the monied who think our people are purchasable should stop the winds of change that are blowing in our country. To those who want to exploit our people by giving them money to influence them to decide against a prosperous future for their children, we assure them that their approach will end in tears. Of course, our people need food parcels and money that our opponents offer them.
