He may have all the degrees in the world….
But he doesnt have common sense and cop on,, Hes completely out of touch with reality..
He lied to us constantly while minister of finance,,
He lied to his colleagues…
The sympathy vote he got last year from genuine people was just thrown back in their faces…
Hes the type of politican we dont need…..
