The army should not be neglected

Our political leadership, specifically in the opposition, has, and rightly so, often argued that financing defence should not be done at the detriment of other more pressing matters such as education and health.

There is no doubt that this country should, and has been, investing in both the infrastructure and the systems in health and education. Of course the matter of success or otherwise is a different debate, the fact is that significant attention has been given to these sectors.
