PM must listen to people
Dear Editor – I was really adamant about the issue of the payment to the ex-militants. As a citizen of this country, I have a lot of questions concerning this matter.

What lessons do we learn from the robberies?
ANOTHER robbery! Happy for you to put this view of mine in your paper regarding the increasing number of large scale robberies taking place in the country.
