1.75Bn is nothing compared to 54Bn pardoned by the government. anyways don't think even this 1.75Bn will make any difference bcos it will never be used for anything constructive or progressive. all these mumbo jumob numbers are only for papers. they will safely find their way into some deserving politicians bank account and end of story.
