  And we must stop depending on the government.. As JFK famously said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for yourself".
  
  OPDAG & Nana Siriboe II should fend for themselves.

  The only job os the women was to be driven around in cars to the farms just to prove they are working. Waste of funds, no wonder Kwamoso Farms collapsed.
