While I disagree wid the entire web shops dem gambling business I must go wid the law dat dey is Legal licenced authorized by the Government as a business.

In all fairness .....to Mr Sebas and his colleagues I must applaud their business accumin in invrsting their money .....the same....$25,000,000.....or..25million you refer to John....in commercisl buildings..like ....those in Palmdale and elsewhere...whichin the same authorities finds it necessary to...rent....to house ....government departments.....on da odder hand.....the finance minister had admitted mismanagement of some $2,500,000,000....or $2.5billion in VAT money collected from 2015

mathematically speaking we can understand anyone who can point to what they did wid $25 million than to someone not able to account for $2.5 billion dollars or 100 times more AND forcing the smaller people to pay the same again ........plus add more taxes to dat on their backs to correct da same....darn mistakes all over ...again !!!....

.....continuously ....exposing and prosecuting officers in any disciplined Forces should be a normal part of that Department....
that the people has been paying taxes to operste an pay salaries
Taxpayers must know dey getting value fer all the 2.5 billion dollars in VAT done mismanaged.....an more VAT to pays to employ an pay salaries

Da public should not have to post videos showing prisoners doing someting illegal before measures is taken.
Illegal migrant boats should not have to land onnthe Defence Force Base before action is taken
Immigration office should not be filled wid files begore someting is done
Police force should not be filled wid oberweight officers before dometing is done
Police force should not run out of sufficient manpower officers or cars before someting is done
Criminals should not be now routinely assassinating people ..like going strait up to dem an shooting dem dead..before someting is done
All dese illegal guns should not be all over da place before someting is done....
Strangest ting like tings hav to be run right into da ground all over .... before action is taken....mudda sic
Good luck Ministet Dames!!!
