I sincerely feel your pain HH. You are trying your best to bring order and to use it as a pathway to prosperity. Deepened poverty and deep rooted disregard for the law has become a collosal hindrance to progress. The mindset of our people now seems to be below that of a cave man. This tragedy was avoidable indeed had people decided to be civil. I am sure your haters will pick this issue and use it to unbalance you and your work. Keep focused HH, keep focused to drive change. Remember, people lost lives fighting for independence. Prosperity is costly in many ways than one. The intention of government was for the greater good.
My sincere condolences to the bereaved families. Any type of death is not welcome.
HH and your UPND are big let down. Many people regret voting for you and your party.
