In response to a Twitter query about the benefits of foreign trips taken by ministers, Ndii expressed his discontent, stating that the government has an “itchy feet problem” when it comes to unnecessary expenditures.
Mikel Edwin asked: We want to believe the travels are in the best interest of mama mboga even if it’s traveling for a meeting that would be held via Zoom.
