Bobi said the regime is weirdly managing government funds especially through creating unnecessary positions. He stated the high number of ministers and Members of Parliament has done nothing to improve the service delivery despite be paid huge sums of tax payers’ money.  

He said when he’s elected into the country’s top office, he will need only 30 ministers and 150 MPs contrary to the current government that has 31 Cabinet ministers and 49 Ministers of State.
