Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76079, member: 636"] Public affairs guy Mahdi Shehu thinks northern politicians talk a big game about wanting state police, but probably aren't actually ready to fund them properly. He dropped this take after pointing out how regional leaders let local security problems turn into nationwide disasters because they refused to invest in anything that matters. Shehu went off about how these politicians blow cash on random status symbols instead of education, healthcare, or actual security infrastructure. He listed out all the wasteful spending, like luxury SUVs, palace renovations, government lodges, and pilgrimage trips that don't help regular people at all. The whole point was that northern leaders keep building classrooms without hiring teachers and renovating hospitals that still have no drugs or staff, which suggests they're not serious about the groundwork needed to make state police actually work.
