Prime minister's trip
Why is it that our leaders feel that once they are elected to office, they are free to use the taxpayers' money for their own, private expenses? In my opinion, it is entirely unacceptable for the prime minister to go and perform Umrah at a time when the country is suffering through a severe energy crisis. Not only is she ignoring the plight of the citizens, she is wasting the taxpayers' money by going to perform Umrah for, perhaps, the billionth time and that, too, not only with her own family but that of others' as well.
Why is it that a big issue is not made out of things such as these? Why do we continue to take these things into our stride and accept it as another one of those things that the politicians get away with? How can anyone justify spending so much money at a time when there are still people living in this country who go to sleep in an empty stomach?
