"D81,840,000 for house rent, responsibility, residential, robing, telephone, sitting, and constituency allowances for 2025."
Why do you pay somebody a salary, ON TOP OF THAT, you pay them for showing up to work. You pay them to buy clothes to come to work in. You pay their rent for them. You pay their phone bills. Pay them for going back to meet with their constituents. Give them a vehicle, maintain the vehicle and fuel the vehicle. On top of all that, they make decisions that cause further distress to the poor whose resources they steal.
Because of all those allowances, they can send their children to private schools while neglecting the public schools where the children of the poor they steal from must attend. Because of those allowances, they can afford to get care in private hospitals and clinics while neglecting the public Healthcare system that the poor they're stealing from have to endure.

No God or angel will come down to put a stop to this wasteful spending and legalized looting of the resources of the poor.
We have eyes and brains to determine for ourselves what is wrong, and then empowered with the the faculty to make a choice whether to act or not to act in putting a stop to injustice. That's on us!
Until we do, may all who partake in consuming ill-gotten wealth misappropriated from the poor be fuel for the fire. May all the deeds of such oppressors be rejected. May they be in the company of the worst tyrants of earth on the day they stand before their Creator. May He keep me from such company. Ameen.
