Folks, The furor is apparently not over just yet. Another Minister has decided to declare the statement of his colleague as nonsense and proceeded to threaten to face the King with the fact that Parliament has said NO to the purchase and that should be the end of the story. The donors determined to share the international spotlight with the King and his subjects have weighed in on where it matters most and have subsequently issued threats to withhold development assistance should the King proceed with the purchase of the jet; the cost of which represents twice the size of the entire Annual Health budget of the Kingdom of Swaziland.
