Disgusted with Government ministers’ obsession for cameras

Jan 31, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

It is a trend I have been observing since the elections were held in March 2020. While it was necessary to broadcast every step of the coalition rigging attempt and rightly so, the government ministers are now nauseating.

Please don’t get me wrong, there is tremendous value to share and broadcast government work and initiatives. My grind is every time you log on to social media, there are hundreds of pictures with ministers from cradle to adulthood. For every occasion, they must show you every step of the attire and their enjoyment at events. Everywhere they go is an entourage and hundreds of pictures plastered on social media with the Minister pointing his/her finger or addressing a group.

These ministers were elected to serve. They are not doing this as charity, they are heartily rewarded with taxpayers’ money. They seem to be competing for approval on what they are doing or for likes in their activities. People want to see them but more importantly, people need policies and improvement in the lives of which they elected to deliver, not posing and dining at events.

 I hope they can reflect on what they post on social media because it may come back to haunt them.

Yours truly,

T. Ramsie
