Africa-Press – Eswatini. It is very disturbing to note that in this country we have a King who loots public funds while turning our country into a charity case, an act of poor leadership that grossly undermines the Sovereignty of this Kingdom.
Mswati recently appealed for R43billion donations to fight climate change, he was addressing a Climate Change event on the sidelines of the United Nations(UN) General Assembly in New York-United States.
But while appealing for the donations, King Mswati was with ten(10) of his children who will or collectively received about R10million public funds as traveling allowances, these children have no relevance whatsoever, in the UN General Assembly and the purpose of traveling with them was none other than creating a systematic gateway for the looting or stealing of public funds.
So if King Mswati continues to steal public funds in manner at the time when the country is facing social challenges including the health crisis and, went on to teach his children how to steal while on the other hand, appealing for international donations, that would mean eSwatini will always be a charity case under his dictatorship rule.
Fighting or mitigating the effects of climate change is a global agenda but the King is now manipulating global projects under the United Nations(UN) Sustainable Development Goals(SGDs) to secure funding for social programs and create a revenue surplus so that, taxes could be looted.
It is the fundamental responsibility of the Government to utilize public funds or taxes and fund social programs, this tendency by the King and the royal family to steal taxpayers with the hope that social programs will be funded by donors(tinini te-Nkhosi) is a corrupt culture of stealing.
This country is being destroyed by corruption and the King is at the centre of all this, what is significance of traveling with your children when attending such global meeting if the intention is not to steal public funds?.
The Sovereignty of this country is being undermined and recently, the King had to accept dangerous criminals from the United States(US) because the agreement was involving money, I’ve never seen such greediness in my lifetime.
