Regardless of bragging, he is atleast doing something . What has the Tanzanian gov done to help its people. Lets appreciate people for once
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!!!
