Re: 2021 Strategic and Political Analysis-1

No.. I think Suswa is the sort of a man who will claim he has 10 things when has 1. I doubt he had any influence with anyone: Sue he knows a lot of people but whether they act as per his saying it’s another matter. SuSwa claims loudly that they do, but facts speak otherwise.

Question to maulaners - Now that we don't even get that much external money from western governments and institutions - be it loans or aids.

So, to what end comments from those like RRR matter? Is the pressure that these kind of narratives could be used to limit FDI or any other type of investments?
