Standing5:
What is bad here is people who aren't earning dollars asking the government for it.
If, you for example, as a blogger or some bee keeper (honey farmer) who earns dollars and has $150,000 earned in a personal dollar account you can go abroad and spend it as you deem fit. What is wrong is people waiting on the govt to give out of the Nation's dollar earning to them for school fee n medical bills that have local n effective alternatives. If we spend the kind of money spent on foreign health services then our local hospitals will upgrade their facilities in no time.

Ok . . . I mean that the children of politicians should be made to attend public schools, not foreign of private schools.

AZeD1:
Public schools are not good simple.

# That's True! But the question is . . . Who should fix it?

# It wasn't always so: King's college, FGCs and all were great places to school. #Now the same people who are to fix it abandon it and send their children to private and foreign schools

# This is also true with Public Hospitals

AZeD1:
It wont fly in any law court because you can't visit "the sins of the father on the son".

# That's really a strong view and you have a good point . . . the challenge here is: How is it that no public official allows their children attend public schools?

# Countries serious about fighting systematic corruption in the system go the extra-mile to dictate code of conduct for families of public officials.

# EXAMPLE: China cracks down on people called "naked officials" . . . these are people who have all their families abroad. outside china.
