Should we assume that a large chunk of the financial aid we now receive from Taiwan will have to be returned to that country in the form of monthly rental payments? Just curious.
How did we become such beggars? Did I read right that Taiwan is funding the trip for us? And we call ourselves a nation? Where is our pride? Are we so broke that we cannot finance our own trips. People, we are far from being an independent nation?
Menissa Rambally was there too. Who the F..k is the new ambassador? We need to know that.
Who paying the rent? The staff? Who taking care of all these expenses? Now with the country in such a freaking financial mess? KENNY YOUR ASS MUST GO. YOU AND ALL YOUR FAILURES
