This is a deliberate and pretentious display or show off by this despot to show his so called accomplishments. Tanzanians pay for rent an average of five dollars a month. Assuming that is how much he will pay the man will only spend seven thousand five hundred dollars in those three months. He need to stop bragging!!!
Regardless of bragging, he is atleast doing something . What has the Tanzanian gov done to help its people. Lets appreciate people for once
