  1. Proud of My Country, most of times it takes precautions as earlier as possible. Let those who think negatively think but remember success comes not by taking all advice but ignoring some and keep moving.

  2. K100m to take them to where it ends, with or without progress aslong as People witness something done for a coverup & the K500m to be split & deposited into personal Bank Accounts.
