Thank you for the above. I've wondered about the silence of the opposition parties as well (are they silent or are the media outlets not carrying their take on the speech?). Where are they vis-à-vis, dissecting the contents of the budget speech, in layman's terms, explaining what it means to the average Jabou or Pateh? Do the people care about "a budget speech" and if not do they understand what is at stake? Mr. Gassama, I would appreciate your continued feed of the speech, re-starting at part 5, please.
