I heard about this on the BBC and found this article,this lady is using $8.4 MILLION in a very novel way, she has impressed the IMF who are giving a loan,despite Malawi being a very poor African country President Joyce Banda is doing her level best to help the country.
Snippet: "Britain, Malawi’s biggest aid donor, announced on Friday that Andrew Mitchell, the international development secretary, had raised the issue of the Dassault Falcon 900EX jet with Banda at a private meeting with the new government. Mitchell said: “At a time of austerity in both Britain and Malawi, president Banda’s decision to sell or lease the presidential jet and expensive fleet of cars sends an enormously encouraging signal to British taxpayers and the international community about the seriousness President Banda is applying to overturn bad decisions taken under the previous government.
“The proceeds can be used to provide basic services to Malawi’s poorest people who urgently need help following the vital devaluation of the currency.”
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
