He acknowledges there is hardship. He acknowledges that things are very difficult. Even recently he appealed that people should be patient with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the question is, for how long will we continue to be patient. Things are very difficult and so many things have not been done the way the people are expecting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest with you, if you go back to the electorates today halfway they\u2019re not happy. I see people lying, telling the President what he wants to hear or maybe some of them, he doesn\u2019t even want to hear them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy position on the people surrounding the President is that they are deceiving him, damaging his image and doing more harm than good because the President cannot go out on the streets like myself and know how the people feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven outside the Villa they\u2019d drive him in a tinted glass that he does not even see what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is people like us that represent the public that you\u2019ll listen to and you also get your intelligence from the people on ground.
