My comments:
The rural people have been too docile and have trusted their ministers and leaders of their own ethnic groups too much. The deplorable condition of the rural schools is the results of corruption and irresponsible leadership. The said allocated funds have been embezzled all the time. Due to ignorance, the rural people have been assly-treated.
I must say the leaders have been too obsessed with their self-interests and positions to care much about the infrastructure of the rural areas.
It is time to think independently and never let your leaders tell you whom to vote for good. Tell your leaders boldly what you want and shun those who fool around and give vain promises.
