Complaining About Tuna And Mayonnaise

But the government, complaining it has received such unneeded supplies as tuna and mayonnaise, insisted its customs agents had to check all emergency shipments.

They want cash, and they want cash in a Prime Ministers' fund. They don't want tuna. Although some of the tents have ended up in private shops. This is an attempt at corruption, pure and simple.

They are not just holding up tuna, they are also holding up tents and tarps, food and medicine.

They want cash so as to engage in party building activities.

This is not time to engage in partisan politics. This is time to rise above party politics.
