“Let me be very frank here, if any president will come up and dare to return to payment of petrol subsidy or forex subsidy, he will have to deal with reversing the gains we have attained with reduction of percentage of what we were spending out of all our revenue to service debt, which we have reduced from 98% to 67%. Then, he will need to borrow to run virtually every other responsibilities of government, including to pay salaries or even to construct a kilometre of road”….Sêe_Morē
