Why raising that much,is it because of prophet Bushiri’s character but a winner is a winner,even doubling the amount hundred times people will still pay.

Well, this is an emotional decision. What about city and district councils who hire the same police and are struggling to pay at MK500.00 per officer/person. Now MK20.000.00 per officer/person will be beyond reach for most councils. Lets refrain from making decisions influenced by emotions and politics, but be based on facts and reality
